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.

Acolytes
Acolytes
Written by: Nikki Giovanni
Junior High and High School Grades
This collection of eighty new poems from distinguished author and poet Nikki Giovanni offers a variety of subjects evoking images from history such as Rosa Parks and Civil Rights activists as well as contemporary events like Hurricane Katrina. I've read many of Giovanni's works and this one in particular struck me as a book that teachers could use for a read-a-loud choosing one poem to read and focus on for a literary, social, or political discussion.
