This professional resource provides research-based evidence for incorporating diverse literature in the early childhood classroom and features annotated bibliographies with a critical analysis based on knowledge of child development and best practices in literacy education.With the increased instructional demands within the early childhood setting, teachers can incorporate diverse text sets to meet national standards, ensure that selections are authentic and developmentally appropriate, and provide engaging literature responses across the curriculum.

Every now and then a teacher comes across a resource that takes up permanent residence on the book shelf and becomes a guidepost and roadmap for instructional design. For any educator who values the use of children’s literature as a teaching tool for social issues, this book is that resource. Focusing on themes of identity affirmation, notions of family, developing and maintaining friendships, nurturing a sense of belonging, and understanding the world on a global level, Colabucci and Napoli introduce readers to hundreds of titles along with ideas for implementing them in early childhood instruction. Each chapter includes focus questions to set the stage, as well as an interview with a known children’s book author on the theme under examination. Recommended texts are up-to-date, readily available, and have strong literary quality. Also included are extension activities and resources such as websites, podcasts, and software applications. Most importantly, this book offers educators the opportunity to learn about having clear and open conversations with children on the social issues that affect their lives through the lens of engaging and relatable stories. Highly recommended.
