Wonderful depiction of the city & finding gratitude
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book after moving my young family from SF to a very homogeneous suburb. Rode MUNI with my kids & at the time didnโt realize how diversity is taught passively when itโs all around you. Fast forward, my kiddo makes a comment in preschool that shocks me & realize that sheโs now in such a bubble. This book is clearly nostalgic for me, but for my kids itโs a chance to talk about all the different lives people live. A chance to talk about race, culture, homelessness, privilege (riding the bus instead of a car, not having a music player), people with disabilities, etc.
To those who choose to post about the grammar In this book, good authors work very hard on depicting dialects, which are 100% a part of oneโs culture. Take the opportunity to discuss the diversity that exists in language too. My goodness, white people from Boston add & delete Rs like crazy (Cubar instead of Cuba, caโ instead of car). ๐
