Books with Diversity

Because our kids were adopted from Ethiopia, our bookshelves look a little different than they might have otherwise.  Part of that is because pictures of these two cuties are framed on them...a welcome improvement to the decor of our home!

But you'll also notice that the books our children read were thoughtfully authored by men and women who remember that not all little ones have blonde hair and blue eyes.  Some kids are Asian.  Some are African-American.  Some have disabilities.  And it's helpful for that to be reflected in picture books.

Here are some treasures we've been thrilled to come across.  You can click on the images to go to their description on Amazon.  The first author, Debby Anderson, has LOTS of great books so I'm limiting myself to sharing just two!  Several of these authors are worth checking out for their other titles too.
