Prolific author, teacher and consultant Anastasia Suen has recently had an article posted to Booklist online called Ten Multicultural Books for New Readers (first published in December 2009). The books highlighted make for a nice round-up, and her intro, for a timely commentary. Children learning to read on their own will definitely benefit (on many levels) from reading the easy readers and chapter books with narrators of color that she calls attention to. We don’t have nearly enough of these books in the market, so it’s good to see existing ones being given thought and attention.
