BEST #OWNVOICES CHILDREN’S BOOKS: My Favorite Diversity Books for Kids Ages 1-12 is a book that I created to highlight books written by authors who share the same marginalized identity as the characters in their books.
Oh, I didn’t know about Ambling books – thanks for pointing them out. We ADORE audiobooks – current favourites are the Hiccup books by Cressida Cowell – http://amzn.to/gJfWyg
Yesterday I was myself listening to Wolf Brother by Michelle Paver, available for free here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/series/wolfbrother
To Zoe,
Thanks so much for the link. I am just learning about audio books myself so I was glad for your tips!
Great list. I have listened to most myself! There are also plenty free on-line. Parents just need to search the net. Children can listen to fairy tales,
classics and poems – all for free on-line.
To Nina,
Thank you! You are way ahead of me but I agree that they are a great, free resource to get kids reading!
