  Celebrating Cultural Diversity Through Children's Literature website — USA
 
  What is it?

It’s a website dedicated to multicultural children’s books focusing on a variety of cultural groups within the United States.

 
  PaperTigers says...

… With annotated bibliographies of hundreds of children’s books organized by cultural group and literary category and links to related websites, this site has tons of useful information for educators, librarians and parents. Though it may be simple in design and layout, the Celebrating Cultural Diversity Through Children's Literature is an excellent introduction to the vast, diverse world of multicultural children’s literature.
