There are so many wonderful books with characters from different countries, from different races, and with different abilities. Pictured below are some books from our library that I hope you enjoy! I will be working on adding read aloud videos to some of them, but they are available to be checked out of the library. The books to the far right can be found on the EPIC site and there are links to the eBook or read aloud versions.
I like to think of books as being mirrors and windows; when you read a book where the characters look like yourself it is a "mirror" book, but when you are reading about characters who do not look like you and live differently from you, it is a "window" into their world.
