A language teacher, a researcher, a wife and a mother who loves reading, writing, gardening, dancing and being alone sometimes. For me language is a strong part of our identity and I am a sociolinguistics enthusiastic in and outside the classroom.

Today I want to invite you to explore the world of pictorial narratives where words are left out to open space for YOUR verbal narrative; the narrative of the reader, the watcher, the observer… Kids are very good at it. Adults who have kept their childhood inside them are too. In pictorial narratives what you can see is what you get. Just like in verbal ones. The difference is that in verbal narratives pictures come later. In both cases, your repertoire plays a crucial role.

Two films I’d recommend you to watch with (your) kids. They are both South Korean films and both bring among other perspectives, the perspective of children. Both will help us challenge the way wee see our reality and the way we deal with problems, emotions, relationships, life, death and faith.

Where the wild things are, by Maurice Sendak

What about movie and literature? I suggest for this December, for those who celebrate Christmas, the book The polar express (Boréal-express) by Chris Van Allsburg.

This is the kind of talk I wish no parents would have to give to their kids. It makes me feel sorry and sad for all black families who have to deal daily with this reality. Who are we to allow such a reality? Who are we so-called non-black ones to let it go on the way it is?

Another beautiful reading for this month of November. One of my favourite for so many reasons. Maya Angelou and Basquiat together is a fabulous meeting of minds.
