Our four-legged and winged relatives (animals) have much to teach us two-leggeds (people) about Mama Earth and Mama Ocean. This graphic novel is about one of the most prolific animal teachers we had the blessing of learning from, Sr. Don Huehuehxoloti, a giant white turkey who brought many lessons from ancestors for all of us houseless youth and elder povertyskolaz and the other formerly houseless animal skolaz who teach, live and learn with us at Homefulness, POOR Magazine and Deecolonize Academy in occupied deep east Huchiun (Oakland). ThankU Don H and to the 1st Peoples of this land (Ohlone/Lisjan) for teaching and loving us and allowing us to be here. Nuestros parientes de cuatro patas y alado (animales) tienen mucho que enseñarnos a los de dos patas (personas) sobre Mamá Tierra y Mamá Océano. Esta novela gráfica trata sobre uno de los maestros de animales más prolíficos de los que tuvimos la bendición de aprender, el Señor Don Huehuehxoloti, una turquía blanca gigante que trajo muchas lecciones de nuestros antepasados para todos nosotros, jóvenes sin hogar y ancianos eruditos de pobreza y los otros anteriormente sin hogar eruditos de animales que enseñan, viven y aprenden con nosotros en Homefulness, POOR Magazine y Deecolonize Academy en el profundo este de Huchiun (Oakland). Gracias Don H y a los 1° Pueblos de esta tierra (Ohlone/Lisjan) por enseñarnos y amarnos y permitirnos estar aquí.

The Hardworker- El Trabajador Fuerte A childrens book for all ages. This revolutionary children's book follows Don Roberto, - an Afro-Boricua houseless, disabled, hard-working elder who collects, sorts, and redeems cans, bottles and cardboard to survive. He, like all unhoused people in the US is constantly harassed by racist and classist police, corporate recycling companies and many of the residents and business owners in the neighborhoods and communities he does his work We follow his police harassment and eventual incarceration and release. His redemption location eventually faces closure and thanks to the intervention of a young conscious boy's act of interdependence, vision for change and liberation, elder and child launch a poor people-led collective recycling coop. The book written by Tiny, who herself has struggled with houselessness, poverty, criminalization and unrecognized labor among other things, created it to address the themes of racism, classism, police brutality, Black/Brown and Poor peoples criminalization, unity and liberation. As well, she created the book to resist the stereotypes about unhoused people and introduce the idea that recyclers and other poor workers are actually workers- not the things people usually say and think about poor people. As well, as a poet and teacher herself, she hopes the book can be used to teach young people and all people to realize the corporate idea of who "owns" trash and the reality that poor and unhoused peoples are criminalized for the sole act of being unhoused and poor in this racist place called the US
