As the publishing industry becomes more sensitive to the needs and
interests of all children in the United States, elementary and middle
school teachers and librarians can incorporate books about diverse
peoples and cultures into the standard curriculum, rather than
introducing them as random additions to it. Our survival as a
democratic society hinges on our committment to issues of social
responsiblity and ethnic-idenity development, compelling all of us to
seek unifying connections with others even while we cherish our diversity.
Book Description From the Back Cover Flap
This fourth edition of Kaleidoscope: A Multicultural Booklist for
Grades K-8 continues a distinguished tradition of promoting unity
through diversity by highlighting fiction and nonfiction published by
and about people of color. The editors have divided the hundreds of
annotations of books published from 1999 to 2001 according to kind,
such as bilingual and multilingual literature and informational and
educational books, or according to issues that young readers have in
common, such as families, friends, and community; war and resilience;
concerns about visibility; and social responsibility. Annotations
provide bibliographic information as well as content summaries, and
readers can search for books by author, illustrator, subject, and title.
Description
A resource guide to fiction and non-fiction books highlighting issues
of diversity and multiculturalism for K-8 educators and librarians.
This book is especially helpful since the book is organized around
particular themes such as social responsibility that students could
particularly benefit from studying and finding parallels with in their
own lives.
