“Books erase bias, they make the uncommon everyday, and the mundane exotic. A book makes all cultures universal." What an inspiring quote for teaching ELLs!

Other author interviews in ¡Colorin Colorado!, Meet the Author Series include Monica Brown who wrote “Waiting for the Biblioburro”.

Presidents' Day by Anne Rockwell: A cute book that explains what Presidents' Day is and tells the story of what one class does to celebrate it.
What Presidents Are Made Of by Hanoch Piven:
Hanoch Piven is an incredible illustrator who uses everyday items to create, look like, and represent the Presidents of the United States. I had the opportunity to be a part of a Skype session with Hanoch Piven. He was a joy to listen to and learn from. After talking to him, the students created their own portraits from objects around the classroom and from their homes. The students also used Hanoch Piven's app, Faces iMake HD, to create their own simile books!
