I’ve chosen fifty of my favorite diversity picture books and wrote book descriptions in the style of a Haiku poem. It’s not exactly a Haiku exactly, but I’m following for form of 5-7-5. I’ve broken the picture books into five categories:
- 10 Diversity Picture Books Teaching Kindness
- 10 Diversity Immigration Picture Books
- 10 Diversity Picture Books to Encourage Empathy
- 10 Diversity Picture Books About Unsung Heroes
- 10 Diversity Picture Books about Amazing Artists
Let me know if you like this [weird] format because I have fifty more picture books in mind for a second version if requested. Thanks so much!
