Look! Here’s the design for the lenticular sticker preorder gift!! When you preorder “The Little Stone Buddha” from @porter_square_books you’ll get one of these ‘moving picture’ stickers! Isn’t it neat?🤗

If you want to read about the 1898 Wong Kim Ark case, there's a wonderful children's book about it by Martha Brockenbrough and Grace Lin @authorgracelin.bsky.social. Essentially by only one vote, the Supreme Court upheld that decision (and the 14th Amendment) today.

In 1898, the Supreme Court ruled in Wong Kim Ark v. U.S., that the 14th Amendment means what it says, and those born in the U.S. are citizens, even if they're not white. Today's Republican-led court (5-4) is more racist and word-bendingly opposed to the Constitution than the one in the 1800s.

I got the F&G! This book has been a Loooong time coming; you might remember me mentioning it a few years ago when I took photos of the Oakland Buddha. So hoping, I can get it a warm welcome into the world with all my preorder efforts! So pls consider preordering!

Hi friends! Since I was away, we got a late start on our “Dance with the Local Stars” 😬 BUT, we are working extra hard—and I think it’s going to be a blast! Please consider supporting us, not only will you be helping kids, teens and families, we need all the help we can get! 😓1/2

Wish this was an April Fools joke, but the Supreme Court heard arguments today to revoke birthright citizenship; an issue that most people decided was settled in 1898 with Wong Kim Ark. May I suggest that it might be worth looking at this book this week with your young readers?

I decided to change my word of the year to “Adventure” with the mindset to embrace uncomfortable things. So when , I was invited to participate in the “Dancing with the Local Stars” fundraising event for Cutchins, I agreed! 🙀😬🤣
