Nicole Fenner at PBS NC Impact Summit: Building a Literacy Community

Since we are tiptoeing into fall and marching into the fourth quarter of the year, I must reflect on my summer.
This summer was good to me, if I may say so myself. lol
I experienced a dream come true that I didn't even imagine yet. How cool is it to do something that wasn't on your imaginary vision board but fulfilled you as if it were there?
Yes, The Sister Girl Collection was featured on PBS NC, and I served as a featured speaker for the PBS NC Impact Early Childhood Education Virtual Conference.
It was a dream come true because I grew up watching Reading Rainbow, Ghost Writer, Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, and, you know, Sesame Street.
This post serves as a reminder to dream even bigger, leap even further, and push to achieve things you didn't even dream about.

Add The Sister Girl Collection to your children’s reading list. Sister Girl’s message of not giving up resonates with children of all ages.

Make reading part of everyday life

A reading routine can begin with a familiar story and a few minutes together. Let your child choose a book, talk about the cover, and pause to ask what might happen next. Rereading a favorite gives children another chance to notice a detail or explain a character’s choice.

Positive stories featuring Black girls belong in home libraries, classrooms, and community reading programs. Sister Girl’s everyday experiences offer a starting point for conversations about patience, creativity, and family. After reading, invite children to connect the story to something they have tried themselves.
