Storytime: For Tots with a Passport
Its wonderful to expose your children to many cultures and diverse communities. If your little one loves to try new things, experience new cultures and learn new languages, why not encourage these interests through the library at your home.
Bee-Bim Bop, by Linda Sue Park
This is a charming story of a young child eager to help her mother grocery shop, prepare and cook dinner. A wonderful addition to this story is the author's very own recipe for Bee-bim Bop to try with your own family.
Have You Seen My Cat?, by Eric Carle
As to be expected with Eric Carle, this story is delightful and beautifully illustrated. A young boy visits different cultures throughout the globe searching for his cat, all along learning about native animals in different regions.
Whoever You Are, by Mem Fox
“Little one, whoever you are, wherever you are, there are little ones just like you all over the world" - this is the wonderful lesson Mem Fox weaves throughout this colorful children's book. The author points out differences and similarities throughout many cultures, and does so in a way that children can understand and learn from.
Do you have suggestions for great multicultural books? We'd love to hear from you!
