Shades of Love: Multicultural Children's Books & Literature 1143 books / 299 members / 735 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.”
~ Maya Angelou

Celebrate Adoption : Stories from the Heart 348 books / 85 members / 395 posts The purpose of the group is to celebrate families formed through the gift of adoption. Our shelves reflect the ways adoption has touched our lives, our families and our hearts. The children's books on our shelves are meant to be shared by families of all kinds, but with adoption themes. You do not have to be an adoptive family to participate!

As we've started filling our shelf, it's become apparent that we need a shelf for children's books and another for adult lit. If you're looking for a novel, memoir or informational book dealing with adoption, please check on the "Books to be Read" shelf. For now, that's the only way we can separate the books.
