Indian American Sikh Author Simran Jeet Singh's Book on Marathon Runner Fauja Singh Honored with Christopher Award | Global Indian


Indian American Sikh author/racial justice activist Simran Jeet Singh and British Indian illustrator Baljinder Kaur’s book on Fauja Singh, the 110-year-old British marathon runner of Indian descent, is among the films, TV programs and books that have been honored with a Christopher Award.
With a message about appreciating people who look different from us, the book for ages six and up, “Fauja Singh Keeps Going,” has won the award in the Books for Young People category. The book shares the true story of the Sikh man who, despite being disabled as a child, became the first person over the age of 100 to complete a marathon.

2021 Christopher Award winners celebrate diverse stories of courage, faith, compassion and hope


2021 Christopher Award winners celebrate diverse stories of courage, faith, compassion and hope
Here’s the latest from the crossroads of faith, media & culture: 04/14/21
72nd annual Christopher Award winners announced. COVID-19 has again scuttled the in-person event but the virus hasn’t stopped the Catholic organization from proceeding with, as it has done since instituting the awards in 1949, celebrating media artists whose work “affirms the highest values of the human spirit” and reflects the Christopher motto that “It’s better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
Of this year’s winners, Christophers Director of Communications Tony Rossi says “The stories we are honoring introduce us to people and experiences that may not be a part of our everyday lives…Stories of refugees fleeing violence and persecution, for instance, or young caregivers devoting themselves to loved ones with dementia and other medical issues remind us how much we have in common even when the particulars of our lives differ. They remind us that we are all children of the same God, that we are all worthy of compassion and respect, and that the power of love and faith can change the world for the better.”

DARIEN — It’s not just political correctness that makes the representation of diverse people important.
According to Dr. Simran Jeet Singh, the impact it has on educating the next generation is pivotal and far-reaching, but it requires a little more than just spouting what has become a popular buzzword—“representation.”

The 2020 Newbery Medal, for outstanding writing
I’m fascinated to see a graphic novel win the Newbery Medal this year, but the numerous awards that
New Kid (Amazon) by Jerry Craft received, make it clear that this book is something special. It’s about a middle school boy who loves to draw, but struggles to fit in at his new prestigious high school where he’s one of the few children of color in his grade.

The most intriguing books on religion we read in 2020


Our reading list in 2020, like the rest of our lives, was colored by the triple whammy of pandemic, racial justice protests and the presidential election. But given the unpredictability of these 12 jam-packed, crisis-filled months, how did the thinkers, researchers, preachers and their publishers of the books we clung to know to furnish us with such timely analyses? As several of the authors of the most interesting books have noted, the answer is all too grim: In many cases, we only reaped what we had long sown.
But among our favorite histories, travelogs and memoirs below, there are as many solutions as there are jeremiads, and books as fun as they are enlightening.
