SUMMARY:Virtual Story Time with Mother Dove
DESCRIPTION:Do you have or know a young child/ student who exhibits low self-esteem? Are you having trouble finding ways to best support them in developing their self-confidence? If so\, look no further! \nThe newly released children’s book\, I Can… Just Try!\, is about a young girl named Terri who thought she could not do anything because she was just too little. She wouldn’t even try until one day her attitude shifted. Terri learned the power of saying “I Can” by just trying. \nAs we know\, many children are like Terri and struggle with believing in themselves. In fact\, some children are so uncertain of themselves\, that they don’t even try. This new children’s book\, I Can… Just Try!\, was written to help children just like Terri. Change their way of thinking by no longer saying I can’t\, and instead affirming and believing\, “I CAN\, all I have to do is Just Try!” \nThis inspiring illustrated book shows how young Terri learns that she can do anything she sets her mind to\, all she has to do is “Just Try.” Terri is now ready to inspire more children just like her\, leading by example.

SUMMARY:Authors Take On Dub This!
DESCRIPTION:CALLING ALL LITERATURE AND MUSIC LOVERS! This event is where literacy and lyrics collide! Dub This! is a high-energy music card game that has been enjoyed by many! It can be played in-person and even virtually. Dub This! challenges players to use the lyrics they know and love after hearing a word on phrase and then try to stump the next player or team. The creator of Dub This!\, Desireé Vaughn\, will go live on Instagram @dubthisgame with 2-3 Black Children’s book authors to test how quickly these literature lovers can come up with those lyrics! \nWe are encouraging those who are tuning in to help their favorite authors “dub” given a word or phrase by adding song lyrics in the IG Live comments! \nAfter 2-3 rounds of Dub This!\, the authors (Christal Holliday-Firmin\, Christopher E. Singleton and Ciara L. Hill)  will share their works\, what inspires them\, and how you can keep up with their latest books and upcoming events. \nDesireé Vaughn– https://dubthisgame.com/ \nChristal Holliday-Firmin:  \nwww.hollidayfirminbooks.com \n www.instagram.com/theechildrenspoet \nChristopher E.
