UMBC’s Diverse Books Project - Author Zetta Elliott Interview
Uncle Devin interviews author Zetta Elliott about her book, "Benny Doesn't Like to be Hugged." This book was selected to be a part of the University of Maryland Baltimore County's Diverse Books Project. http://www.zettaelliott.com/
In April 2023, WEE Nation Radio started a partnership with UMBC's Sherman Center for Early Learning in Urban Communities by offering our WEE Nation Reads program as a resource to participating teachers and families in their Diverse Books Projects (DBP). https://shermancenter.umbc.edu/diverse-books-project/
This project aims to ensure that early childhood educators at their partner schools have access to high-quality, diverse children’s books and opportunities to share ideas and insights about their use.
Books identified by UMBC will be featured in our WEE Nation Reads segment, which includes a reading of each of the selected books, children’s music related to each book, and an interview with the author or publisher.
This will occur every Monday through Friday, from April 11, 2023, through May 18, airing twice a day at 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM EST on WEE Nation Radio.
Parents and teachers can listen by downloading our mobile app available in Google Play and the Apple Store. Download your app today. This is our way of celebrating and raising awareness of the critical need for children’s books about “different cultures, races, languages, and traditions.” Stay tuned for more information.
