SUMMARY:First Sundays: 'Twas the Night Before Pride' with Author Joanna McClintick
DESCRIPTION:A glittering celebration of queer families puts Pride gently in perspective—honoring those in the LGBTQ+ community who fought against injustice and inequality. \nAuthor Joanna McClintick joins us to share her illustrated poem ‘Twas the Night Before Pride\, that tells\, beyond the glitter and rainbows of PRIDE\, “the beautiful resistance that made PRIDE come to be.” \nThis joyful picture-book homage to a day of community and inclusion—and to the joys of anticipation—is also a comprehensive history. With bright\, buoyant illustrations and lyrical\, age-appropriate rhyme modeled on “’Twas the Night Before Christmas\,” it tackles difficult content such as the Stonewall Riots and the AIDS marches. On the night before Pride\, families everywhere are preparing to partake. As one family packs snacks and makes signs\, an older sibling shares the importance of the march with the newest member of the family. Reflecting on the day\, the siblings agree that the best thing about Pride is getting to be yourself. Debut author Joanna McClintick and Pura Belpré Award–winning author-illustrator Juana Medina create a new classic that pays homage to the beauty of families of all compositions—and of all-inclusive love. \nPraise for ‘Twas the Night Before Pride: \n“Rainbows abound in Medina’s full-color digital illustrations\, which incorporate historical references and depict a wonderfully diverse cast. . . While there is no shortage of picture books about Pride\, this one may be the most inclusive and expansive yet. . . . An affirming and kid-friendly history lesson.”\n—Kirkus Reviews \n“McClintick presents a loving survey of the queer community in all its diversity. . . Medina’s rainbow-flecked digital illustrations do a superb job of capturing the spirit and scope of Pride and the excitement it generates\, while the sprightly text joins in the celebration. With affirming discussions of togetherness and LGBTQ+ rights\, the book’s final takeaway that “being yourself is a blast” hits just the right note.”\n—Booklist \nNewcomers are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Puffin Interview Series with Leader Joe Chuman: ‘Power Hungry: Women of the Black Panther Party and Freedom Summer and Their Fight to Feed a Movement’ with Suzanne Cope (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Our friends at the Puffin Cultural Forum have announced the Puffin Interview Series with our own Leader Dr. Joe Chuman! On the first Sunday of every month Dr. Chuman will delve into and explore the work of renowned authors through meaningful dialogue in an intimate interview format\, all streamed live on Youtube. There will be an opportunity for audiences to ask their own questions during a Q&A session. \nThis month: Dr. Suzanne Cope \nPOWER HUNGRY: Women of the Black Panther Party and Freedom Summer and Their Fight to Feed a Movement is the true story of two unsung women who used food as a weapon for social and political change in the Black Freedom Movement: Cleo Silvers\, a Black Panther in New York City whose work focused on child hunger and inner city health care\, and Aylene Quin\, a tavern owner and bootlegger in McComb\, MS\, whose passion was voting rights. Both were attacked by government forces. These parallel stories\, separated by a few years and a few thousand miles\, intersect in surprising ways and provide a model for activists today.
