Hi Michelle,
Thanks so much for your kind words about Lee & Low! We always love hearing how these books are being used in classrooms – I’m so glad they’ve been so successful with your students!
Another publisher like us, who also does multicultural children’s books, is Children’s Book Press – they’re based out of San Francisco but have a similar focus to ours and also produce some great books (one of my recent favorites is TAN TO TAMARIND). I’d definitely recommend checking them out too.
Great post!

Yes! Bird is one of my favorites. At first I wasn’t sure it would be appropriate for my young students, because Bird’s experience is so far outside my students’ world. I thought that the themes might be too heavy for most of them. Then, after a week of deliberating, I decided that I needed to share the book with my third graders, because I have a student in my class who understands this world and a whole bunch of students who have no idea this world even exists. I think that it’s important for this child to know that an award-winning book–a book that illustrates an example of hope for students who live in the same world as Bird–has been written about (and for) him. Yes, the discussion may be awkward for some, but with the proper care and facilitation, it can be an effective tool. The year just keeps getting better for this child.

In reply to Ceci Miller. Ceci, I just checked out Cinco Puntos Press, and I love it!!! I'm starting a thematic unit on Native Americans and NJ. They have section of books about the Choctaw, which I can use for the introduction to the Native Americans part of the unit. Thank you!!!

In reply to Heather Bestel.

Heather,

Thanks for the kind words. I really began to think of our individual contributions as “imprints” after I visited the “America I Am” exhibit when it was in Philadelphia a couple of years ago. The metaphor can be used to help younger children better understand the concept. It can be tied to science and art as well. The exhibit is traveling across the U.S. Here’s the URL:
