Across Cultures - A Guide to Multicultural Literature for Children (Hardcover, Annotated Ed)

Compiled by two experienced librarians, Across Cultures introduces more than 400 recent fiction and nonfiction multicultural resources for children from preschool to 12 years old, and encourages librarians and teachers to make literature about diversity an integral part of their programme of instruction. Arranged in thematic groupings (Identity and Self-Image, Family and Friends, Traditions, Exploring the Past in Diverse Communities, for example), this lively volume links diverse peoples, themes, and issues. It presents both annotations and practical advice on programming strategies. Connections are made to projects, graphic organisers, and activities. Full bibliographic information is given for each resource, along with a suggested use level. Important awards are also mentioned. Appendices look at Literature Circles and Parent/Child Book Discussions, and there are indexes by culture, author, illustrator, title, and subject.
