Our children are gorgeously diverse and they love a good read. At the heart of Real Kids/ Good Books are authors and illustrators who are building a new diverse canon, book by dazzling book.
Themes include: children of color, LGBTQ, adoption, special needs, math, science and writing. And of course there is also a mishmash of miscellany and reblogged tidbits that strike my fancy as they float by.
Thanks for stopping by.

The Road to Mumbai (2004) by Ruth Jeyaveeran.
Shoba and her monkey friend, Fuzzy, are off to Fuzzy’s cousin’s wedding in Mumbai via bed, camel, elephant and bus. They meet all kinds of characters on the way— a coconut juice seller, a group of monks, a snake charmer, and women in shiny saris. The art work is endearing and Fuzzy is especially appealing with his snobbish sensibilities.
