Reading for Culturally Responsive Classrooms

This helpful website from the National Association of the Education of Young Children provides some books suggestions when reading about race and identity at a developmentally-appropriate age. For example:

Big Hair, Don’t Care by Crystal Swain-Bates (2013), and Emi’s Curly, Coily, Cotton Candy Hair by Tina Olajide (2014) talk about African American culture through hair.

Why am I Me (2017) by Paige Britts celebrates diversity.

The Invisible Boy (2013) by Trudy Ludwig show how kindness and friendship can help children feel included.
