Booktalk: Before the sun even rises, a confident group of birds is warming up their vocal chords preparing for a full day of singing. They perform solos and acapella and arpeggios. And they sing and sing–and sing some more! Until the day comes to an end and they decide…they’re actually pretty exhausted. But come morning, they have big plans to SING SOME MORE!!!

I Dare! I Can! I Will!

I Dare! I Can! I Will!: The Day the Icelandic Women Walked Out and Inspired the World
by Linda Ólafsdóttir (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: Vera and Mamma are headed out for a march, but it’s not just any march: It’s October 24 in Reykjavík, and on this day in 1975, the women of Iceland took the day off, walked out of their homes and away from their jobs–as farmworkers, butchers, and fisherwomen; wives, daughters, and children–and marched to demand equality and change, chanting: “I dare! I can! I will!” And they did, inspiring and empowering girls and women to make change, not just in their country, but all around the world. Photos and facts from this real event in Iceland, called the Long Friday, in the back of the book.
