DOWNLOAD: ACTIVITY SHEETS
Hello Barkada activity sheets are free downloadable resources. Printing isn't necessary. They can be written and colored on in free PDF editing applications; Google "free PDF editor" for options.
By spotlighting artists with intersectional identities, these activities are also intended to validate, start conversations, and build community. Please share them with family, friends, teachers, librarians, before- and after-school program coordinators, and others.
If you've completed or distributed any of our activities, please post a photo on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook and tag @HelloBarkada #HelloBarkada so we can reshare and see them in the wild!

092022-Word-Search-Black-Sun-Hello-Barkada.pdfWe're taking to the open waters of the Crescent Sea in this word search featuring characters, places, clans, and slang from Black Sun (Saga Press/Simon & Schuster), the first book in the Between Earth and Sky series by bestselling and award-winning speculative fiction writer Rebecca Roanhorse.
Black Sun has everything: a prophecy, political intrigue, flawed underdogs, women in revered leadership roles, central characters who are LGBTQ+ or disabled, gothic romance, mysticism, transfiguration, and horror. If you haven't already read it, consider this a sign to add it and its follow-up Fevered Star to your TBR pile so that you're caught up by August 1, 2023, when the third of the trilogy The Mirrored Heavens is released. Not yet convinced? The dust jacket for Black Sun includes a pull quote from LeVar Burton in which he says of Roanhorse, "I'm really happy to have a voice like hers on the planet." In the Reading Rainbow, we trust.
