Shades of Love: Multicultural Children's Books & Literature 1127 books / 294 members / 728 posts Shades of Love is an offshoot of the Black, Biracial & Multiracial: Culture & Diversity Group. Our aim is to provide listings and encourage dialogue for families, educators, and all others who are interested in more representative and diverse literature and reference resources for children, from babies and toddlers to pre-teens and young adults.

Finding good books that are diverse and multicultural is a challenge. And YA? Good luck. That is why Shades of Love is here.

Please don't assume members are already aware of great titles including reference resources. If you have found a book you enjoy, or have found a text useful and relevant, share it with the group in discussion and on our shelves. If you've seen something and are unsure, let us know. Hopefully someone among us will purchase the text and report back or another may have access through a library and will report to the group.

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.”
