Educators and librarians need to be diligent about making sure that classroom libraries are diverse and that certain books are not just pulled out during multicultural heritage months.
Rudine Sims Bishop uses “Mirrors, Windows and Sliding Glass Doors” as an analogy to discuss the importance of diversity in books and the authors who write them.
Bishop believes that multicultural books need to express the richness of a specific culture, but also express qualities that are universal to all people.
