The family is not Caucasian, and lives in an urban environment.  The book emphasizes community and family.]]> 2018-10-29 21:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298274799 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298276677 Homeless Bird discusses arranged marriage and poverty in the Indian caste system, and one girl's struggle to overcome her circumstances. This is transformative because most Americans are not familiar with Indian culture and rituals, and it does a great job of describing life in India. ]]> 2018-10-29 21:21:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298276677 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298277936 This is sort of a fantastical retelling of a girl's daydream about flying over the city, but it has some themes that explore low-SES families and inequality of races. In African- American culture, the dream of flying to freedom is a metaphor for escaping slavery. This little girl wants to escape her hardships by flying and giving her family everything they want.]]> 2018-10-29 21:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298277936 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298278339 For older kids (7th grade or older), this book examines the justice system during the 1930's, segregation, and also explores disability with the character of Boo Radley. ]]> 2018-10-29 21:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298278339 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298759879 Moses is a young boy who is deaf and uses American Sign Language to communicate. His friends use ASL too. This book follows his class on a field trip to a play. It discusses some deaf culture, and teaches some vocabulary. This book is transformative because most people are unfamiliar with deaf culture from their perspective.]]> 2018-10-30 21:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298759879 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298761733 This is a picture book, good for early elementary, about Louis Braille, and talks about how blind or low vision people read. It describes how Louis wanted to read so bad that he invented the Braille system. It's transformative because it provides that window into a world that most of us are not familiar with. ]]> 2018-10-30 21:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298761733 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298765908 This is a great book for self esteem. It focuses on acceptance of others even thought they may be different. While this doesn't promote a specific window or mirror, I think that it does a good job of generalizing that differences are ok. ]]> 2018-10-30 21:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298765908 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298769508 Provides a glimpse into the celebration of Diwali by authors who are familiar with the holiday.

I literally stumbled across it. This is great because it discusses hunger in kids, and also promises that sometimes need to be broken. I will definitely be buying this book in the future!]]> 2018-10-30 22:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298770778 bethie17 https://padlet.com/bethie17/tsghc80zn038/wish/298816174 Non-fiction text suitable for grades 6-12.
