> 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!
