         <description><![CDATA[<p>Bring in picture books that show kids all kinds of cultures, families, and traditions. These books help students see themselves and each other in the stories. You can use them for read alouds, class discussions, or even writing prompts. Some great options for Kindergarten–3rd grade include:</p><p><em>All Are Welcome</em> by Alexandra Penfold</p><p><em>The Day You Begin</em> by Jacqueline Woodson</p><p><em>Hair Love</em> by Matthew A. Cherry</p>]]></description>
