I love reading aloud to young children. I love introducing a good book to young readers. I love sharing books with kids and adults and talking about the stories that capture our imagination and our hearts. It's even fun to talk about books we don't all like and why. Reading stories of other lived experiences is a great way to expand our understanding of our fellow humans and develop empathy for people not just like us. These book suggestions are a very, very small sample of the excellent multicultural literature available. Just start searching for "the best multicultural books for (age group)". And for you adult fiction and/or poetry buffs, read anything Maya Angelou or Toni Morrison ever wrote.
