Holiday Tales: A Kaleidoscope of Diversity in Children's Literature

Help me give my students diverse holiday read alouds to learn about different cultures!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Flugaur's classroom raised $273

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project will provide many diverse read alouds for different holidays such as: Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, Ramadan, Dia De Los Muertos, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Chinese New Year and Kwanzaa. Diverse read-aloud books about different holidays are important for students because they open doors to a world of understanding and respect.

When children hear stories that celebrate various cultural festivities, they learn about the rich tapestry of traditions that make our world colorful.

By exploring holidays from different perspectives, children develop a broader worldview and appreciate the unique customs of their peers.
