SUMMARY:STORYTIME WITH LATIA
DESCRIPTION:Join six-year old Peter as he journeys across town with his family to visit the dentist. \nAn elaborate office\, embellished in a Zoo-like theme\, gives a warm welcoming feeling to all of its pediatric patients. The office’s Dental Hygienist Ms. Stacy guides Peter step-by-step throughout the entire procedure of his dental cleaning\, as she introduces all the fancy tools and equipment that she uses during the treatment. Yummy flavors are always an incentive\, for getting your teeth polished; as the choices are endless. The removal of sugar bugs off of the teeth produce a sparking smile\, while radiographs help to ensure there is no tooth decay\, which may be underlying. Peter learns about taking x-ray pictures and gets a lesson on home care instructions to maintain a healthy dentition. Goody-bags and treasure prizes are such a treat\, making Peter’s trip to the dentist complete.\nA pleasant time with the Hygienist and Dentist\, makes Peter look forward to his next dental visit! \nPlease follow and like us:

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.

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. \nPlease follow and like us:

Now\, JFAM Johnson is on a mission to inspire youth to create their ideal world\, conquer all disharmony\, and crush all stereotypes by authoring books\, starting a motivational clothing brand\, and producing other works of the imagination. \nAbout The Author: JFAM JOHNSON™ is the name for a collective of creatives\, 8 siblings ranging in ages from 6 to 16 years old. Emmanuel B. Johnson\, Abigail C. Johnson\, Elizabeth M. Johnson\, Jael K. Johnson\, Phoebe Shalom D. Johnson\, Sarah Naveh K.Y. Johnson\, Judah A. H. Johnson\, and Joshua S. B. Johnson make-up this eccentric group of young creators. During the pandemic of 2020\, JFAM JOHNSON™ decided wanted to encourage each other and felt a need to do more than just talk about doing something to support each other. They came up with a plan work as a focused team to create great literature\, personalized clothing\, and other works of the imagination. Their mission is to educate and empower Black American boys and girls by promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance. They reside in Baltimore\, Maryland. \nPlease follow and like us:
