PRAISE FOR CHRISTOPHER THE OGRE COLGORE, IT'S OVER!:



"A Pioneering Children's Book" LA Times on Rebeldita the Fearless



"This book shifts the paradigm in elementary school curricula regarding Columbus and white settler colonialism. It's wonderful!"

- Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Author of An Indigenous People's History of the United States



"A beautifully written story that challenges the colonialist & dehumanizing "dominant" narrative written about Christopher Columbus that has caused so much harm to the original peoples of AbyaYala. Dr. Siu's "Christopher the Ogre Cologre it's Over!" helps children and adults unpack, discover, and protect TRUTH in a manner that is empowering and healing. It opens opportunities for young readers to see themselves as AGENTS of change, protectors of TRUTH, and practitioners of RESISTANCE. A must-have for any Ethnic Studies classroom!"

- Veronica Xochitl Valadez, MA Chicana/o Studies & Ethnic Studies Professor, Ethnic Studies Consultant, and Co-founder of Ehecatl Wind Philosophies.



"It's over for the evil settler colonialist, Christopher the Ogre Cologre! - A beautiful children's tale of love and revolutionary spirit. Dr. Siu's beautiful story of intergenerational warriors has us on a quest to protect truth, cultural knowledge, and teach us that history cannot be denied!"

- Dr. Theresa Monta?o, Chicana/o Studies Professor and Co-Founder Liberated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum Coalition



"I love Christopher the Ogre Cologre, It's Over! by Rebeldita the Fearless and Dr. Oriel Mar?a Siu. What an amazing way to empower children and youth to resist decades of colonialism and speak their truths! This clever, insightful, and beautifully illustrated book offers a profound message in a wonderfully inviting way."

- Dr. Christine Sleeter, Expert on anti-racist Multicultural education



"Christopher the Ogre Cologre, It's Over! is a must read for elementary Ethnic Studies students and teachers! Dr. Siu's work is a consciousness-raising literary wonder to be used to break down concepts such as "colonization" and "resistance" to both younger students and teachers alike. Moreover, the righteous Rebeldita serves as an honorable model for students to counter all systems of oppression, informing and inspiring our youth to act and live as agents of change to not only imagine, but in fact, to create a more just and humanizing world for those who have been racialized and dehumanized in our society."

- Sean Arce, PhD, Ethnic Studies Educator
