=Welcome to my Wiki!=

This wiki is dedicated to multicultural literature in the classroom. In today's diverse society, it is so important to create a classroom that embraces multiculturalism. There are many topics that fall under the category of "multiculturalism." Some examples are race, ethnicity, disabilities, religious backgrounds, socioeconomic status, and privilege. The books that children are exposed to can have a significant affect on their lives. Book choices will affect not only a child's enjoyment of literature, but also their self-perception and idea of what normal. Every child deserves a book that involves characters and situations to which he or she can relate. Literature gives children a window into the world. Therefore, the literature that is placed in classrooms must represent a variety of characters and topics that accurately represent the diversity in the world.
