Women’s History Month


My new Focus on STEM column: Women’s History Month is in the March Quick Tips for Schools and Libraries newsletter.

Snippet: Fill your bookshelves with these new STEM biographies for Women’s History Month and discover the contributions that women in STEM fields have made in the past — and are still making today. Then invite your tweens and teens to play the free online game Foldit and help scientists design a brand-new protein that will attach to the COVID-19 coronavirus.

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

Jump at the Sun: The True Life Tale of Unstoppable Storycatcher Zora Neale Hurston
by Alicia D. Williams (Author) and Jacqueline Alcántara (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Zora was a girl who hankered for tales like bees for honey. Now, her mama always told her that if she wanted something, “to jump at de sun”, because even though you might not land quite that high, at least you’d get off the ground. So Zora jumped from place to place, from the porch of the general store where she listened to folktales, to Howard University, to Harlem. And everywhere she jumped, she shined sunlight on the tales most people hadn’t been bothered to listen to until Zora. The tales no one had written down until Zora. Tales on a whole culture of literature overlooked . . . until Zora. Until Zora jumped.
