Interview with Starr Armstrong, Founder & Executive Director of Clever Communities in Action

We’re kicking off Family Literacy Month by chatting it up with Starr Armstrong of Clever Communities in Action. She’s telling us all about how she got started and her work to promote culturally affirming literature for our children. Early exposure to literature in the first 3 years of a child’s life can significantly increase a child’s experience in school. We discuss Starr’s Programs and she even offers some of her favorite children’s books:

• The King of Kindergarten by Derrick Banks
• The Queen of Kindergarten by Derrick Banks
• Frankenslime by Joy Keller
• Boo Stew by Donna L. Washington
• There’s a Dragon in My Closet by Dorothea Taylor
• My Rainy Day Rocket Ship by Markette Sheppard
• Malcolm Little: The Boy Who Grew Up to Become Malcolm X by Ilyasah Shabazz
• Nappy Hair by Carolivia Herron
• Queen of the Scene by Queen Latifah
• Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
• The Getaway by Lamar Giles
• Fake ID by Lamar Giles
• Shortie Like Mine by NiNi Simone
