Multicultural Voices in Contemporary Literature: A Resource for Teachers

I attended a workshop facilitated by the author of this book and was so impressed with both her presentation and the activities in the book that I bought a copy right then and there. I love the way the book is organized. You get the background information on thirty nine different multicultural authors and illustrators of books for children. There are brief summaries of books written and illustrated by the writiers and artists highlighted and then there are suggested acitivities to go with the books. The book has given me new ideas to help the students in my class broaden their world view. I recommend it to any classroom teacher who wants to plan lessons that emphasize multicultural awareness.
