This blog was developed as a resource for teachers and educators looking for multi-cultural books to share with children. I have compiled and cited various reviews of the books listed in this blog, and have added web resources and other tools that will help teachers use the books for instructional purposes. These are all books I have read personally or have previewed a hands on copy of.

Nadia's Hands
Nadia's Hands
Written by: Karen English
Illustrated by: Jonathan Weiner
Elementary Grades
"In Nadia's Hands, a young Pakistani American girl worries about what her classmates will say when they see the intricate designs painted on her hands as she prepares to be the flower girl in her aunt's wedding. But as she participates in the traditional ceremony, Nadia learns to appreciate the beauty of her hands -- and the richness of her heritage."
