Hello!
My name is Kate Metroka, and I’m starting a campaign to get Ellen Degeneres on board with helping my children’s book series to get published. The series emphasizes strong female characters and is highly relevant in today’s world. Let’s start rewiring the way our culture treats little girls one children’s book at a time! I would love if you could watch the videos below, and give them a like or a share. Have a great week!

Don’t forget Henry’s Box…a great story about some Philly Quakers who transported a slave from the south in a wooden crate! great illustrations and happy ending in Philly!
Also Vergie goes to school with us boys! another great read aloud about education in the slave driven south.
Love the Site Janice!

Absolutely! These are great read-alouds, both based on our nation’s fascinating history. Thanks for mentioning them. I’m glad you like my blog, Kathy. For the rest of March, I’ll be featuring heroines, real and imagined, in honor of Women’s History Month. Stay tuned!

Thanks for checking out my blog and mentioning it in yours, Terry. There’s so much we can do to promote literacy, isn’t there?
