Mary Ann Darby and Miki Pryne have done an outstanding job organizing this book. It is incredibly easy to use and very informative. The methods they recommend and the multiple examples they provide have been used in their own classrooms and proven successful. By expanding the meaning of multicultural literature, they have brought attention to our current society which is made up of difference. It is exciting to see such an open perspective. * Children's Literature *
