It first depends on your meaning when you say MULTI-CULTURAL. When I was in
library school, my children's lit professor gave us an excellent experimental
assignment where she told us to bring in multi-cultural books but didn't give us
any further guidelines. I brought in a book about a girl from Thailand that was
written in English and Thai. I figured that multi-cultural meant from more than
one culture. Many people brought in books about those people traditionally refered
to as being in the ethnic minority groups "black and Hispanic." One brave soul
brought in Heather Has Two Mommies by Leslea Newman with the definition that
multi-cultural means books about cultures that are not the reader's own culture.
Having said that, I would be happy to give suggestions if you could clarify what
you mean by multi-cultural.
Thanks! :)
