This project will help update our classroom library with lots of new books! My diverse classroom wants to see characters in books that are like them. They also want new stories to help motivate and grow their love of reading. In my graduate classes, I learned about many new books that promote critical literacy. Most of the books on my list came from my research from graduate school. My students want to know about their world and the people living in it. These books will open up many different cultures and tell stories of people living all over the world.
