During this coming week, I am a guest author on the Writing for Children's blog: Through the Tollbooth. The theme is multicultural literature; my topic focuses on literature about and by Native Americans. If this interests you, I am interested in your comments.

Get the Indians Out of the Cupboard: Children’s Literature written about and by Native American and Alaskan Natives, Fict ion and Nonfiction
Get the stereotypes out of children’s books.
This coming week I am co-posting on Through the Tollbooth with Debby Dahl Edwardson, author from Alaska. We hope to have readers look at an old "photograph" with new eyes and listen.
We ask readers to look at Alternative World Views: Whose stories are these? Whose voices tell them? Contemporary multicultural books – where are they? who is writing them? how do we find them?
Indians in the Cupboard? Perhaps some find this phrase offensive. We hope so because we want to spark discussion about the stereotyping of American Indians in children’s books.
Please join us.
