Tunnell, Michael O. and James S. Jacobs. Children's Literature, Briefly. 4e. Upper Saddle River NJ: Pearson/Merrill Prentice Hall, 2008.
I thought chapter 8 was a great chapter to read. I found the information very informative and useful. One of my favorite quotes from the chapter was by James Baldwin: "Literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way a person looks at reality, then you can change it." I loved this quote because it brought in so much insight of what literature can do for children. By using multicultural literature in the classroom you can bring in great insight about others cultures.
