It’s that time of year again! Time for Multicultural Kid Blogs’ Read Around the World Series 2018! I’m excited to be participating in this epic global round up of amazing children’s books for my fourth year. I’ve found many wonderful picture books for my own daughter through this series such as Tales Told in Tents, a collection of folk tales from Central Asia, and Pretty Salma, a Little Red Riding Hood tale set in Ghana. I’ve been able to recommend some of my personal favorite YA reads such as The Star Touched Queen and The Hate U Give.
My first recommendation for this year is a Middle Grade graphic novel that can truly be enjoyed by any age: American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang.
If you believe children Need Diverse Books #WNDB, then check out the series homepage at Multicultural Kid Blogs for recommendations ranging from picture book to YA! Or check out the Read Around the World Pinterest page with all the recs from the past five years.
