"This book helps to expand the definition of diversity in
children's books by shedding light on an element of diversity that
is sometimes overlooked-economic situation or income . . . Teachers
and librarians will find it informative and engaging as it deepens
their experience with both authors and books as well as their
understanding of children who are experiencing generational
poverty." -from the Foreword by Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, Professor
Emeritus, The Ohio State University Drawing from her own lived
experience, in this guide Dorr shines a light on some of the
cultural values that exist across both rural and urban poverty,
inviting teachers, librarians, and others who work with children
from low-income families to see them in their cultural context and
appreciate the values they bring to the classroom or library. She
spotlights a range of books for children and teens that offer
literary mirrors to low-income children, as well as windows to more
economically privileged readers, enabling all young readers to
celebrate our common humanity. And she also shares the work of ten
authors and illustrators familiar with poverty, offering insights
into the sources of their stories and the ways storytellers' lived
experience can influence their creative works and make their
characters more authentic. You will discover an introduction which
explores what it's like to grow up in generational poverty,
including its long-term effects on children, the roles played by
intersectional and institutional racism, the power of family, and
how reading can act as powerful catalyst; biographical sketches of
Elizabeth Acevedo, Jason Reynolds, Cynthia Rylant, Kelly Yang, and
other authors and illustrators; inspiring profiles and books
spanning age ranges, genres, and formats that chronicle the lives
of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sonia Sotomayor, John
Lewis, Wilma Mankiller, and other people who were raised in
generational poverty; and four appendixes which spotlight even more
stories of resilient individuals and fictional characters.
