This would be a window book that shows the struggles of a small village but the will power of a kid to overcome it and create something great for his town and farm.

This is geared for younger kids about the the world we live in. Due to the fact we have had a student from Egypt, this would be great to show my students. It also can show the different ways we use math, in measuring for example in the world.

Sonia Manzano, Sesame Street 's beloved character Maria, brings warmth and wit to this timely picture book that looks across cultures and generations to celebrate what unites us, wherever we come from.

Manzano's lyrical prose combined with stunning photography of people from dozens of countries around the world explores how all of our lives are enriched by our geographic and cultural diversity. Kids see how people around the world look, dress, and spend their day, and learn that what we enjoy and value--friends, family, food, play--may sometimes look different, but deep down is the same wherever you go.

This lovely picture book from a first-generation American affirms our common humanity as it presents the glorious similarities and differences that connect us all. It's a charming book to share with friends and family and to read aloud with little ones. It has an inspiring message: With laugher and love, we can help bring a world together.

2. Where Are You From?

When a girl is asked where she's from - where she's really from - none of her answers seems to be the right one. Unsure about how to reply, she turns to her loving abuelo for help. He doesn't give her the response she expects. She gets an even better one. With themes of self-acceptance, identity, and home, this powerful, lyrical picture book will resonate with readers young and old, from all backgrounds and of all colors - especially anyone who ever felt that they don't belong.

The picture for this is a little off but the link takes you to the correct site where they talk about Passover in the Jewish household. In the current climate of the world I thought this would be good to get a window for kids to see what it is all about and a look into Jewish traditions.

This is a mirror poem but can be a metaphor for mirrors and how we see things. I believe it can have a big impact on kids on how they see themselves and each other and the ability to change the narrative to change their outlook.

This is more of inspiration in a window on what you can overcome in life. It gives you hope even when no one cared, and most kids know who Tupac is.

With the amount of mental illness among other things I think this can give the kids hope if they deal with these issues daily. It also can be used for other kids who don't know about mental illness and what they can see with it.

Darius doesn't think he'll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. Hilarious and heartbreaking, this unforgettable debut introduces a brilliant new voice in contemporary YA.

Winner of the William C. Morris Debut Award
Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's a Fractional Persian - half, his mom's side - and his first-ever trip to Iran is about to change his life.

Darius has never really fit in at home, and he's sure things are going to be the same in Iran. His clinical depression doesn't exactly help matters, and trying to explain his medication to his grandparents only makes things harder. Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. Soon, they're spending their days together, playing soccer, eating faludeh, and talking for hours on a secret rooftop overlooking the city's skyline. Sohrab calls him Darioush - the original Persian version of his name - and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he's Darioush to Sohrab.

Adib Khorram's brilliant debut is for anyone who's ever felt not good enough - then met a friend who makes them feel so much better than okay.

"Heartfelt, tender, and so utterly real. I'd live in this book forever if I could." Becky Albertalli, award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

"Khorram's debut novel is filled with insight into the lives of teens, weaving together the reality of living with mental illness while also dealing with identity and immigration politics. This tear-jerker will leave readers wanting to follow the next chapter in Darius's life." Kirkus (Starred Review)

"Khorram's debut novel is an affectionate portrait of Iran: the food and aromas, the rich traditions and eclectic culture....Readers will understand that home can be more than the physical place you live, and that people who make you feel at home can come into your life unexpectedly." The Horn Book

" This story of identity and friendship - and how one can inform and reveal the other - will stay with me for a long time...For its exploration of male friendship and cultural expectations alone, Adib Khorram's lovely debut should be required reading." John Corey Whaley, award-winning author of Highly Illogical Behavior

Adib Khorram is an author, a graphic designer, and a tea enthusiast. If he's not writing (or at his day job), you can probably find him trying to get his 100 yard Freestyle (SCY) under a minute, or learning to do a Lutz Jump. He lives in Kansas City, Missouri.

Again this can show how your disability doesn't define you and what you can become. I think our school does a good job of including everyone and this is another representation of a window into their life.

This anthology explores disability in fictional tales told from the viewpoint of disabled characters, written by disabled creators. With stories in various genres about first loves, friendship, war, travel, and more, Unbroken will offer today's teen readers a glimpse into the lives of disabled people in the past, present, and future.

The contributing authors are award winners, bestsellers, and newcomers including Kody Keplinger, Kristine Wyllys, Francisco X. Stork, William Alexander, Corinne Duyvis, Marieke Nijkamp, Dhonielle Clayton, Heidi Heilig, Katherine Locke, Karuna Riazi, Kayla Whaley, Keah Brown, and Fox Benwell. Each author identifies as disabled along a physical, mental, or neurodiverse axis - and their characters reflect this diversity.

"What makes these protagonists different proves far less relevant than the universal emotions they express." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"For intersectional representations of disabled kids leading complex lives - sometimes painful, sometimes funny, never sentimentally inspirational - a vital collection." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"The stories feature wide variety and high quality, but most importantly, none of the teens at the center of the stories are defined by their disabilities....compassionate, engaging, and masterfully written stories." Booklist (Starred Review)

Marieke Nijkamp is the #1 New York Times -bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends. She is a storyteller, dreamer, globe-trotter, and geek. She currently resides in her home country, the Netherlands.
