This book can be used to introduce children to cultural diversity through poetry. It‘s a great way to explore rhythm and repetition in writing, and can be paired with a discussion on the importance of family traditions and different cultural practices. Teachers can also have students write poems about their own family traditions.
pick"Bee-bim Bop!" is a joyful, rhythmic poem about a Korean family preparing a traditional meal together. The poem captures the excitement and energy of cooking, while also introducing readers to aspects of Korean culture. The catchy, repetitive lines create a fun reading experience for children.
We woke up an hour and a half early in our house 😭 but at least we had a reading party! 🎉
pickBabe loved this bright and cheerful story about helping mom cook beebimbap. We're big fans of eating the hot stone version in Japan (ishiyaki bibinba) so I'll have to try the included recipe for a safer, at-home version. Slowly building a library of relevant books for our enthusiastic rice eater 🍚👶💕 #babyreads #Korean #food #picturebook

It is sadly easier to find picture books that feature animals than it is to find culturally diverse characters. Here are three picture books by Taiwanese-American author and illustrator Grace Lin and one by Korean-American Linda Sue Park. Some other great diverse picture books include Last Stop on Market Street, Cora Cooks Pancit, Goyangi Means Cat, I'm New Here, The Name Jar, Thunder Boy Jr.
