E5: "Bud, Not Buddy" by Christopher Paul Curtis (EmmyB with Principal Jeff Nalwalker)
In this episode, EmmyB interviews elementary school Principal Jeff Nalwalker. Discussing the book "Bud, Not Buddy" by Christopher Paul Curtis, Principal Nalwalker reminds us that our children often don't see differences until they are pointed out and can easily be taught to see all individuals as "different shades of orange." He also opines on white privilege, leading with kindness, and creating a loving atmosphere where children can learn as the adults around them become part of their "quality world". Principal Nalwalker also recommends the book "Wonder" by RJ Palacio to teach kids all the ways that we are the same.
