More along the lines of what @Mrs. Lemon-Lime is talking about - a book with a POC protagonist - not necessarily about diversity in the plot.</p> <p>Also my favorite books with strong female characters that's not about girl power per se are:<br /> Extra Yarn<br /> The Steamroller by Margaret Wise Brown<br /> Stina by Lena Andersson </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-that-teach-about-diversity#post-2650533 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 20:28:05 +0000 farawayyama 2650533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My classroom won a grant a couple of years ago so I have dozens. I'll go through them at work tomorrow and pull a few good titles (for me as much as you). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-that-teach-about-diversity#post-2650510 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 18:40:48 +0000 shellio 2650510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Flamingo: I'm sad today too, and I had the exact same thought - how can I raise my kids to know there is better in the world. Thank you for this thread. I'll be looking for some of these books as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-that-teach-about-diversity#post-2650502 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 18:20:25 +0000 MamaG 2650502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not specifically about diversity, but historical females. We just read this one recently as my girl checked it out from the library. We spent a lot of time talking about Rosa Parks and what she did.</p> <p>My Name is not Isabella: just how big can a little girl dream.</p> <p><a href="https://amzn.com/1402243952" rel="nofollow">https://amzn.com/1402243952</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-that-teach-about-diversity#post-2650488 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 17:30:22 +0000 Anya 2650488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2014/12/22/18-childrens-books-with-diverse-characters/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2014/12/22/18-childrens-books-with-diverse-characters/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2014/10/15/growing-a-reader-part-ii-multicultural-and-social-issue-books-for-kids/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2014/10/15/growing-a-reader-part-ii-multicultural-and-social-issue-books-for-kids/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-that-teach-about-diversity#post-2650487 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 17:26:32 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2650487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here are a couple books with Filipino-American protagonists: Cora Cooks Pancit, Lakas and the Manilatown Fish, Lakas and the Makibaka Hotel.

So a zookeeper brings them egg to take care of so they can have a baby, too. </p> <p>I haven't read these, but have them on my list to check out sometime:<br /> - The Different Dragon<br /> - Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-that-teach-about-diversity#post-2650455 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 16:04:06 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2650455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes just reading books that feature characters that are not the same race as the reader normalizes that all races have a place in society.</p> <p>Ezra Jack Keats has a series of books featuring a black child named Peter.</p> <p>"Corduroy Bear" is about a deptarment store bear and a black girl that wants the bear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/books-that-teach-about-diversity#post-2650451 Wed, 09 Nov 2016 15:50:40 +0000 Miss Flamingo 2650451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello! Like many of you I am feeling pretty upset today. But I thought that one thing I want to make sure I do is raise my kiddos to be tolerant. I was wondering if any of you had suggestions for children's books that talk about diversity, acceptance, tolerance, love? I ours love to add some to my kiddos library. </p>
