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.

Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids by Kip Fulbeck (Chronicle Books, 2010).
Mixed is a coffee table type book, only smaller. Its pages are filled with portraits of all kinds of mixed kids. Sometimes the pictures are accompanied by some thoughts from a parent or sometimes with a drawing or paragraph from the kids themselves. But mostly, the portraits let the kids shine in each of their own unique ways.
If you have mixed kids, this is a book to prove to them that there are all kinds of mixed kids just like them out in the world.
