As our neighborhoods grow more diverse, a splendid variety of
cultures, values and traditions become an important part of our
classrooms and schools. In Kids Like Me, 26 personal narratives
celebrate the experience of young people making a new home in a
strange community-finding common ground as they make new friends,
learn English, share their cultural identities, their challenges,
successes and dreams. Kids Like Me provides a youthful perspective
on the important themes of crossing cultures, immigration and
citizenship and learning to appreciate differences. These stories
are intended to foster intercultural awareness and sensitivity and
encourage individual and community action to assist newcomers in
their adjustment. While written to help youth understand their
classmates and friends, Kids Like Me also includes discussion
questions, self-directed activities and research ideas for teachers
and other mentors that can be used in classrooms, youth clubs and
community settings. Richly illustrated with photos and maps of each
home country, the text presents countless opportunities to explore
and understand different cultures and new friends. Young people who
have come from all over the world share their stories and invite
their new neighbors to see that in so many ways these kids are just
like me.
