Yes that's right! Professor Cheryl Cowdy and Professor Andrea Emberly of the Faculty of Liberal Arts have chosen an excerpt from Rain On My Leopard Spots as one of their course texts!!!! We are so pumped about this, especially as the book is not due to be released till Spring 2013...
The course is titled "Worlds of Childhood" and we hear there are already 250 students registered for the course! Kente Publishing author, Dr. Mary Ashun will visit the class on October 16th 2012 to chat with students, answer questions etc. We will be sure to post some pictures and get some tweets happening...hey there might be some interesting questions and if you've heard Mary speak, you know she doesn't shy away from those...like "Do black people have an extra muscle in their legs?" (no lie...true question from a Grade 11 student)!
