Rain! by Christian Robinson6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() I met Christian Robinson in 2016 when he toured the U.S. And I celebrate that this book, YOU MATTER, exists for us to share with kids. I celebrate that Christian Robinson shares his gift freely with us all so it can positively impact children. And right now, that is the message I hope all kids will get to see and hear. The illustrations bring joy, empathy, and love to the pages. It's a book without much text – a quiet book that will help kids see that they matter no matter how others see them or they see themselves. A book that reminds kids that they matter whether they are big or small, first or last, follow the crowd, fall down, are old or young. And now, with this second book that he illustrated AND wrote (the first was ANOTHER), he has created a gem of a book that is what we all need right now. And to know who they are, what they believe, how they want to be - it all matters.Ĭhristian Robinson is a well-known Caldecott Awarded & Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honored Black illustrator in the children's literature world. Books that remind kids that we believe in them and support them, and that even though they are little, the space they take up is theirs to make a difference with. The kinds of books that affirm their existence, validate their beings, and support their lived experiences. ![]() ![]() I am always searching for picture books for my school library and to read aloud for #classroombookday that will show students that they matter. ![]()
