*Note of the Cover Art:
Quilting as a Literacy of Love and Social Justice
Quilts offer warmth, security, sometimes shelter and community. These are all qualities that educators should aspire to create in their classroom cultures. This quilt was created to center the use of children’s literature to create safe, equitable spaces for students to grow, build positive identities and learn. Each piece of fabric or book cover art was chosen deliberately to create a disruption of the status quo reminding our students of their rich cultures and histories.
