One such website of note is the Native Peoples of Wisconsin in books for children and teenagers (see http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/bibs/wisind.htm ). For those interested in further study, may I recommend the following resource:
"Examining Multicultural Picture Books for the Early Childhood Classroom: Possibilities and Pitfalls" by Jean Ann Mendoza and Debbie Reese, published online at ECRP (Early Childhood Research and Practice). The URL for that article is: http://ecrp.uiuc.edu/v3n2/mendoza.html It prints out to about 25 pages (a worthy use of paper), but try to read it online and link to many other invaluable works cited.
I believe that the basis of the work was a conference presentation on multicultural literature in the early childhood classroom. Debbie's and Jean's work is an important, comprehensive + practical work of sorrily overlooked facts/theories. I cannot recommend it more highly. Both educators and librarians will find it most relevant, immediately useful and thought-provoking.
I'd stop and write more, however, my personally-marked-up copy of the work is with my Mom, a K literacy consultant! She grabbed the paper and used it last night at a United Nations seminar for educators about multiculturalism.
Karen Sue...now thinking about her 2001 favorites...
