[LM_NET] MID: Muticultural books to foster empathy for ESL students

[Tish Carpinelli <carpinellit@LCMRSCHOOLS.COM>]

Our ESL teacher would like to compile a booklist of titles (grades 6-8) of
multicultural books that would foster empathy for ESL students. We are a
high school, but she wants to target the middle school age so that students
may have a better understanding by the time they get to high school. The
books do not have to be about immigrant children - they can be about young
people in their native cultures. This level is a little lower than I am
familiar with, so I'm hoping those of you in middle school might have some
suggestions. TIA!
