(Name-mce) ListServ New Poll: Children's Books

[Paul C. Gorski]

Hello, all. The idea for this poll came from Matt Laliberte.

Please, please, please send this along to other listservs or individuals
who you think might be interested in responding or seeing the results...

What are the three (no more than three) best children's books for
addressing racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, and other forms of
oppression in an authentic way? Please send the book title and author.

A couple notes:

1. I use the word "authentic" because, unfortunately, most children's
books that attempt to deal with these issues seem to reinforce stereotypes
and existing structures of power and privilege. So, as always, I'm looking
for books that go beyond "celebrating diversity" to take on real issues in
real ways.

2. Please send only three titles. Again, I want to make sure that everyone
who responds had equal/equitable voice.

Thanks!

Paul
