You start to believe that you can be part of this creative world, and I think that's very important."

Charles Esperanza stated "When I was first trying to get into the business. I heard some really wild things about why publishers wouldn't have a Black child as the protagonist. I remember one editor told me that for picture books, they would rather have an animal like a panda or something as a main character, because every kid could relate to that."

  • They help create an awareness, understanding, and appreciation for the differences of others.
  • They help children of color to view their culture in a positive light.
  • They provide a vehicle for students to travel to different cultures and witness the rich  story-telling traditions these countries have to offer. 

Multicultural literature includes books that portray people of color: African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos.  They also, however, include books that help to portray religious groups other than Christians like Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Mormons and Amish.  Lastly, they include books that portray the intellectually and physically challenged.

It is important to assess literature on multiple levels, such as how diversity is represented, if the diverse characters in the story are relatable in reality, does the story just "add a dark-skinned cover" simply in attempts to appear diverse without including the personality traits in the character? Including diversity needs to be done in a way that is meaningful and relatable to students. "Building a classroom library that offers windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors to all children is more than a numbers game. It requires thoughtful curation of who is represented and how.".]]> 2021-11-17 01:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/brittaneechelleen/apj6htvdc218wjrv/wish/1895561083 GROUP #1This article went back to the fact that it is important to show diversity by means of history a facts. You can't just slap a brown face on a person to make it diverse. Also books with diversity should include adventure and fun just like any other book instead of pointing out the diversity only.
