Book Recommendations for creating an International Bookshelf: (created by Laren Renalli & Natalie d’Aubermont Thompson)
Children’s literature provides a wonderful forum for processing emotions as well as the world around us. When buying, borrowing, or gifting books, consider how your selections can help address topics you face as a family or broaden your family’s exposure to different communities, cultures, or experiences.
