We thought as the kids head back to school we’d share some of our favorite kids’ books for multiracial children and families for all those book reports that will be due soon.  Check some of these out and let us know what you think!

• Latte Rebellion by Sarah Jamila Stevenson (YA)
• Bird by Crystal Chan (YA)
• Amy Hodgepodge by Kim Wayans & Kevin Knotts (series)
• Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell (YA)
• Mexican Whiteboy by Matt de la Pena (YA)
• The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (YA)
• All the Colors of the Race by Arnold Adoff (poetry)
• I am Mixed by Sebastian Jones and Garcelle Beauvais
• I am Flippish by Leslie Ryan
• Half and Half by Lensey Namioka

Oh, and we’re also kind of partial to our Festival founder’s book which is written for adults but skews YA and is taught at high schools across the country: The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi Durrow
