“The best young adult, middle grade and children’s books published this year tell stories of resolving conflict, finding unity and overcoming adversity.” — TIME ([link removed])

“In a year marked by historic uprisings in support of Black lives, these Black Native Americans say now is the time to acknowledge their rights, too.” — NBC News ([link removed])

“All this fall, as vehement debates have raged over whether to reopen schools for in-person instruction, teachers have been at the center — often vilified for challenging it, sometimes warmly praised for trying to make it work. But the debate has often missed just how thoroughly the coronavirus has upended learning in the country’s 130,000 schools, and glossed over how emotionally and physically draining pandemic teaching has become for the educators themselves.” — The New York Times ([link removed])
