[LM_NET] Hit Elem: Picture Books Celebrating Diversity/Multiculturalism

[Mary Alice Hudson <mah@ARTICHOKE.ORG>]

Hi everyone,

 

Below is my target followed by the responses I received.  Thank you to
everyone who sent suggestions! :-)  If anyone has anything to add, please
let me know!

 

Target: We are planning a One Book, One School in February and would like to
use a picture book that celebrates diversity/multiculturalism.  I am just
beginning my search for the perfect book and thought I would seek your
input.  We are a diverse, rural, Title I school that serves third, fourth
and fifth grades.  I am looking for a picture book that will spark
discussion and have tie-ins across the curriculum.
