Understanding our history is crucial to making sense of the world around us, and this warm and informative book sets out an engaging and accessible account of how our past has shaped our present – from the language we use, to the food we eat. A must-read for every young person – and their parents, too. Hearing the blasts, the Wampanoag thought it was a threat.

When Our Worlds Collided by Danielle Jawando is just such a book: a coming-of-age story that takes a searing and honest look at racial discrimination in the education and justice systems. It will leave young readers heartbroken and angry, but full of the fiery belief that something needs to change, and that together they can be part of creating that change.

Whetstone emphasized that, as Indigenous peoples are not a monolith, many will have different opinions and relationships to the day. On 23 April, a day in which Sant Jordi is celebrated in Catalonia (the day of the book and the rose), I recommended the following book to a person during a conversation: The Four Agreements: A Toltec Wisdom Book by Miguel Ruiz. It is a book that I read more than 15 years ago. It helped me a lot because it made me aware of things that were not working quite well in my life and allowed me to change and my perspective.
