About Jill Guerra Books
Jill Guerra has been teaching in the Oakland Public Schools for twelve years. She is a witness to the lack of diversity among books for children and knows that children need to see themselves in their own shining light. For years, she has collected every picture and chapter book she could find that exemplifies diversity in all its forms. She feels very lucky that the Bay Area, where she raised her children, currently teaches and where her own long-haired grandson attends school, is open-minded and embraces the beauty of difference. Jill hopes to one day spend full days teaching Mindfulness to youth and writing children's books. This is her first attempt at the latter. For more information, visit: thelovecurriculum.com.
