DEY continues to resist the attempts to censor children’s literature that explores race, gender, sexual orientation, and the truth about our country’s history. In an effort to support early childhood educators, parents, and advocates, we are launching the DEY Banned Book Club. We will feature short videos of banned early childhood books that we encourage you to read to young children. Reading to children about complex topics is the best way to build a foundation for their ability to make sense of things now and work to address them when they are older.
We invite early childhood educators, authors, researchers, and advocates to discuss a variety of important issues as part of our webinar series. We also share discussions featuring our co-founders, executive directors, and national advisors.
On March 17, 2021, DEY co-sponsored this webinar with Haymarket Books and Black Lives Matter in School.
Nancy Carlsson-Paige, DEY co-founder and senior advisor, served as the panel’s moderator. Panelists included: Denisha Jones, DEY co-director, Angela Harris, Laleña Garcia, Makai Kellogg, and Takiema Bunch-Smith.
“The Miraculous Nature of Everyday Play” In this inspiring video, DEY founders Nancy Carlsson-Paige and Diane Levin discuss the threats to play today, how play is crucial to young children’s development, and why it’s so important to protect and preserve it in today’s world.
#TeachersSpeakOut is a short video series featuring a variety of early childhood educators and advocates. Learn more about how children learn best, the importance of play, and how to support whole child development.
