Using multicultural children's and young adult books: Bringing the world to community
Our children are entering an increasingly complex world that requires social ability to work, live and communicate with people who are both the same and different from ourselves. Sharing and talking about stories that offer glimpses of our shared humanity are a powerful way to encourage knowledge and confidence in our interactions with people. These skills are vital to success in society today. This workshop was designed for all members of the community: teachers, administrators, parents, grandparents, children and young adults.
