Shades of Love: Multicultural Children's Books & Literature 1127 books / 296 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.”
~ Maya Angelou

Crowell's IBers 9 books / 1 members / 0 posts Fellow Ribault IBers and book lovers (and non-lovers of books, because I know you're out there, too) - we'll use this group to discuss the books we are reading in class plus others that you find that might interest the group. I need not remind you, I hope, to keep your conversations at all times professional and nonjudgemental. Your grade will depend upon my ability to identify you, firstly, and upon your frequency and depth of participation. We'll talk about what that means. First off, let's start with Ellen Foster, your summer read. What's your general assessment of this book? Be candid, professional, and detailed in your discussions, please. Mrs. C.

Poetry Corner 35 books / 21 members / 23 posts If you like to read and write poetry, then this group is for you! Here you'll get a chance to share poetry that you've written and have others share their feelings on them.

Here's how it works:

- You start a new discussion and post a poem that you wrote on it.

- Others may view your poem/s and give you feedback about it.

- You get a chance to see what others are writing and share you feeling on it.

Remember: Critique but no criticism!

Have fun!!
