My Project

My precious kindergarten students are incredibly curious little beings who love to learn everything about the people and the world around them. I adore them, and they deserve the very best I can provide for them.

As I was putting away our December holiday books, I noticed that many of our Christmas books have only a white Santa in them and I need to change that!

It is so important for me to include more diverse Christmas books so that all my students see themselves on our book pages. With this in mind, I did some research and found these beautiful picture books that would be incredible additions to our classroom collection.

Thank you, in advance, for helping me to make sure our classroom books are representative of all the beautiful people in our world!
