It’s time for WEE Nation Reads with UMBC. Today's interview is with Author Katherena Vermette http://www.KatherenaVermette.com/

This segment is sponsored by UMBC’s Sherman Center for Early Learning in Urban Communities, which serves as a resource to participating teachers and families in their Diverse Books Projects (DBP). https://shermancenter.umhttps://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.

The book for today is "The Girl and the Wolf" by Katherena Vermette. It includes a reading of her book by Storyteller Robbie Kumalo at the 1:35 mark of the video.
