This Karen language translation was provided by Karen speaking staff at the International Rescue Commitee in Phoenix, Arizona. Karen is primarily spoken in parts of Burma/Myanmar.
Thank you to both the IRC in Phoenix and to the librarian at Glendale Community College in Arizona for obtaining this!
I had a librarian write and request a set of Spanish signs using the more inclusive “todes.” Without further ado: a new sign set!
Betsy Dadabo, the Librarian at Harding Senior High School in St. Paul, MN, asked Mr. Ahmed Mohamud, a language specialist at her school, to help with the Somali translation. Thank you Mr. Mohamud!!!
The generous Karen Van Drie @worldlibraries provided both Sorani translations along with the Kurmaji. All three of these Kurdish sign sets had previously been within one blog post, but I decided to split them apart to let Sorani shine brighter. Thank you, Karen, for all of your help over the years – it’s deeply appreciated.
Julianne, the delightful librarian at Rochester International Academy, reached out to me with two translations. Before I get to the first (spoiler alert: it’s Swahili), I just wanted to point out her school’s AWESOME mission statement: The Rochester International Academy is designed to facilitate the cultural and academic transition of newly arrived English Language Learners…
Several months ago I received this Albanian translation, and the sender was incredibly gracious when I told her that I was overwhelmed with work. So a HUGE thank you to the librarian who waited (which makes me want Doctor Who to have a librarian companion), and to her library page who provided the translation!!!
This year the schools’ art teachers graciously bowed out of the Artsy April community art show at the library. And so, my team set out to redefine Artsy April. And, like Decemberley, we decided for now to shift our focus to book illustrators. Natasia had the strongest idea and drive to focus on Dr. Seuss…
