Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children develop their feelings toward other cultures and individuals largely through the ideas presented to them by parents and teachers. One good way is to show them respectable and accurately portrayed literary characters from many U.S. cultures. Over 200 selections from children's literature, with plot and character synopses, feature Americans who can serve as role models in overcoming cultural stereotypes. Target activities (role playing, writing assignments, etc.) reinforce the multicultural concepts. The selections are divided into five areas: African American, Asian American, European American, Latino American, and Native American.

Book excerpt: With the growing number of ethnic minority students in public schools, it is very important for teachers, librarians, and all those who work with children to have an understanding of appropriate multicultural literature. This book and the literature selections are designed to develop heightened sensitivity and understanding of people from various cultures and traditions through the selection of carefully chosen literature. It includes a balance of research about the culture and the literature, a discussion of authentic literature for students from early childhood through young adults, and teaching activities designed to develop higher cognitive abilities. The book uses a unique five-phase approach for the study of multicultural literature that has been field tested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this 6-week action research study was to investigate whether multicultural literature is an effective tool in developing first-grade students' cultural and racial competence. The research questions included: 1) How would students respond to multicultural literature? 2) Would those student responses to literature be sufficient in measuring changes in their racial and cultural competency? And, 3) Which aspects of the multicultural education program would the students find most interesting and resonating? Lessons were designed around multicultural children's literature and were implemented over the course of six weeks in a first-grade classroom. Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected through pre- and post-surveys, pre- and post- rubrics, and researcher field notes. Results indicated that students' awareness of cultural and racial differences and similarities increased during the multicultural program, but also that some children demonstrated a degree of cultural bias."--Abstract, p. 1.
