African Diaspora at the Internet Archive: Spreadsheet (11)

I've crossed a new threshold for the African Diaspora spreadsheet: there are now over 7000 items from 108 different sources linked from the spreadsheet to the pages of books at the Internet Archive, everything just a click away! You can find it all at the African Diaspora Folktale Spreadsheet.

And, of course, the big African Folktale Spreadsheet is available also, with over 10,000 stories there. You can find out more about how the spreadsheets work here.

Helen Nde and I are wrapping up our first week of the ABC Anansi Book Club. Here's some information about the May books, and you can find more information at the Anansi Book Club website. 

Our first book was Aardema's Who's in Rabbit's House, illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon. Here's a blog post about it, plus a Twitter thread I wrote over the week.

Happy May Day! today is also the start for #AnansiBookClub... and our first book of the month: WHO'S IN RABBIT'S HOUSE? a Maasai folktale retold by Verna Aardema and beautifully illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon; @Internet Archive has 2 copies available:https://t.co/S3DypmFpY2 pic.twitter.com/Z6EnwY7SFr
