Reading about Dunkin helped me to better understand the inner struggles someone with bipolar disorder can face on a daily basis. Watch this video where Maggie tells the true account of her life with bipolar disorder.
After reading about Dunkin and listening to Maggie's story, what do you think is important to remember about bipolar disorder?
We are so excited to invite you to join a conversation with the author of Lily and Dunkin
on Tuesday, May 9th at 2:00 pm! You will need to use the Google Chrome browser on a laptop that is connected to a data projector and speakers. That way your students will be able to see and hear Donna Gephart clearly.
You will be watching a livestream of the interview.
You will also be able to send questions to us on Twitter during the live event by adding @scdsbreadaloud into the tweet to bring it to our attention. For an even better chance of having your question read to Ms Gephart, please work together with your students to brainstorm and then add your best ideas on this Google form:
For everyone reading Lily and Dunkin, and arguably for everyone, this video delivers a powerful message of support for the transgender community.
Filmed 7 months apart, this moving cover of the song “HOME” features Ruby, before she began hormone treatments, singing the female part and Charlie, 7 months into his hormone treatments, singing the male part.
Not only is this a beautiful duet, but it is also a moving tribute to the love and support Charlie received during his transition. The video is an excellent addition to a Lily and Dunkin discussion or to help students understand Transgender students.
If we learn at school to be accepting, kind and empathetic, then why do people still have such strong negative opinions about people who are different, like Lily?
