ENGL 453 Methods in Teaching English: Multicultural Books

LEE & LOW BOOKS is the largest multicultural children's book publisher in the country. We are also one of the few minority-owned publishing companies in the United States, as well as a throwback to what many publishers used to be: independent, generational businesses in which the people running the company have a personal stake in its success.

We Need Diverse Books™ is a grassroots organization of children’s book lovers that advocates essential changes in the publishing industry to produce and promote literature that reflects and honors the lives of all young people.

During the month of February, schools, churches, libraries, bookstores, community and professional organizations, and interested citizens are urged to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month by hosting an African American Read-In. Hosting an event can be as simple as bringing together friends to share a book, or as elaborate as arranging public readings and media presentations that feature professional African American writers.

Culture Kits are a collection of tangible items from a country brought to us by international and UNC travelers. Each item is accompanied by a description highlighting the item's use or significance.

These kits are especially practical for elementary students who have a greater need to touch and see items in order to learn, but are applicable to other grade levels.
