Carrie Knows Best
New book recs to hit the road, a kids' critique free printable, celebrating a Black Canadian trailblazer, and more
Hands up if your young readers are taking part in our Summer Reading Challenge?!
We hope they’ve found some new favourite reads in the process and are having fun tracking their progress with our bookworm or reading tracker.
Here’s what’s inside this week’s newsletter:
🎁 We’re keeping the free printables rolling with this super cute activity that allows kids to put their critique hat on and tell us how they really feel about a book they’ve read
📚 Whether by plane, train, bus, or car, this week’s book recs are all about summer travel, near and far
☀️ A reminder about our Community Sponsorship Program (we are so happy to hear you are just as excited as we are about this new initiative!)
🖤 A sneak peek at the last four profiles in The Roots Pack — our first published collection featuring some amazing Black Canadians
Let’s get into it.
It’s time for young readers to put their critiquing to the test with this week’s free Book Review printable. Why not choose one of the books in this week’s book recs and let us know what you think! Snap a pic of your child’s review and use the hashtag #reppedandrooted to be featured on our socials.
We’re keeping the teasers going with our next set of profile silhouettes. Think you know the first four shared in last week’s newsletter? Let’s see how you do with our final amazing Black Canadians!
We’ll be sharing more about The Roots Pack as we get closer to the printers. We promise it will be worth the wait!
While you wait for The Roots Pack to drop, check out this video featuring journalist, activist, trailblazer, and author, Carrie Best. Maybe she’ll inspire young readers to write their own stories and to stand up for what’s right!
In our last newsletter, we shared about the Community Sponsorship Program, which will help get more books into the hands of our young readers. We were SO excited for the positive feedback we received and already have our first TWO sponsorships lined up! If you know of a business, organization, group, or individual, who would like to get involved with this meaningful program, feel free to share this information with them. We’ve downloaded the specifics as a PDF below. Sharing is caring!
Thanks for joining the Repped & Rooted fam. It means so much!
Happy reading!
