January 24, 2018 by Mia Wenjen

Please welcome Jo Meserve Mach, Vera Lynne Stroup-Rentier and Mary Birdsell with their list of Books Making the World Better Through Inclusion.

#ReadYourWorld Book Jam 2018, Eight Picture Books with Diverse Family Constellations

Books Making the World Better Through Inclusion

1. Emanuel’s Dream by Lauri Ann Thompson, illustrated by Sean Qualls

I love true stories and this true story of Emmanual Ofos Yeboah is so inspiring! Because his mother believes he can teach himself how to gain the skills he does just that. The fact he is missing part of one leg doesn’t limit him.  Emmanuels quote at the end of the book says it all: “In this world, we are not perfect. We can only do our best.” [picture book, ages 4 and up]

2. My Three Best Friends and Me, Zulay by Cari Best, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton

This is a fun story that takes place at school. It portrays inclusion in a wonderful way.  Zulay becomes just another child participating in Field Day. At first she seems different because she is blind but then she is like every other child competing at school. [picture book, ages 4 and up]
