Read half, Listened to Half

Revisado: 07-13-22

My wife, a homeschool mom, has been following the work of Amber Johnson for a few years now. Amber has produced resources that have helped so many homeschool educators add diversity to their kids’ curriculum. “A Place To Belong” represents a compilation of these resources and more. My wife asked me to read the book, so I read half and then listened to the other half on Audible. Hearing the author read her own work helped me to connect with her passion for the subject.
I found the content of the book to be very helpful, but also fascinating. Amber not only explains the reasons for including diverse voices in the curriculum, but she also weaves her family’s personal story into the book. I could relate to her story being that I am also an African-American. What was particularly good about the book was its inclusion of practical suggestions and specific names of people, resources, and experiences that could be used to enhance learning. I found myself on many a rabbit trail googling and searching through YouTube for the recommendations made in the book.
As a dad who wants his kids to learn from and value and enjoy the richness of other cultures, I think this book is a useful tool. My hope is that homeschool, public school, and private school teachers alike will use it and steer their students in a healthy direction as it relates to diversity and inclusion.
