This book is a guide for teachers seeking to use multicultural literature in the early grades. It also serves as a valuable resource for classroom teachers who routinely use multicultural literature as part of their practice. In addition, the book is written for both undergraduate and graduate children’s literature and multicultural literature courses as well as for workshops or seminars focusing on teaching preschool to grade 3 children with multicultural books. Starting with exploring that particular culture, each chapter includes a step-by-step guide on how to select and evaluate literature on the culture. The classroom examples then showcase strategies and activities for classroom teachers. Finally, resources provide suggested children’s books and resources for understanding the culture.

Annotated bibliographies of literature resources on a particular subgenre are common. What sets Chen and Browne’s compilation apart from a standard reading list is their inclusion of guides to selecting and evaluating early-childhood cultural literature and instructional strategies and learning activities for classroom teachers to use while incorporating the suggested book and resource lists and other educator-chosen materials. As such, this guide is useful for practitioners, preservice educators, readers, and researchers. In addition to more commonly examined cultures (e.g., African American and Latinx), the chapters on Jewish and dis/ability experiences are particularly appreciated. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the culture’s heritage and common themes examined in that culture’s literature before moving on to sources and uses. The book has a few drawbacks. It blends all Asian cultures into one chapter and does not give equal representation to those cultures in the source choices. Halfway through the book, the format of the resources changes, making the book less useful as a reference. Finally, considering all the included visuals, color printing would have been a worthy publisher choice. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
