Fans of Little Women who love remakes and modern takes on this classic story (and who won‘t mind creative liberties) and who also want to see more diversity will enjoy this graphic novel.

pick“So Not Ghoul” is a colorful, funny, poignant book about a Chinese-American ghost who is laughed at for not dressing like her peers. Great for grades 2-4, grade 3 kids into clothes may be ideal audience. My son thought “girl ghosts” were not very interesting. But it‘s a good one. #diversebooks #ghoststories #kidlit #AsianAmericanAuthors #Scarathalon22 #TeamSlaughter #31by31
pickNo wonder this collection of crime fiction by writers of color is up for the Anthony Award! Great stories in varied styles. The opener by Tracy Clark has a fun twist. Navarez‘s “Docs at Midnight” offers suspenseful blackmail & a bittersweet look at former lovers. Highly recommend all these short stories. #anthology #diversebooks
pickPerfect gift for friends & relatives who are adopting! This sweet picture book is special because it addresses adoptions both foreign and domestic (books often showcase one or the other.) just heard the author, whose teens were adopted from US and China read it aloud, and this book is one our new favorites. Librarians, this would be an inclusive, fun addition to any collection! #kidlit #adoption #picturebooks #diversebooks
Y‘all, this book. I finished the audio yesterday and can‘t get it out of my head. Reading diverse books are so important. It works empathy, compassion and more understanding into peoples lives that are different than we are. 5⭐️ rec. #diversebooks #bipocauthors #importantbooks
pickPizza is the best, but is it always best? Kiddo and I loved this fun, sweet book that celebrates food and cultures from around the world. (Bibimbap-yum!) Bonus: We were inspired to make pizza from the recipe at the back. #5stars #picturebook #diversebooks
I'm joining @Andrew65 in #12Booksof2021, sharing one book every day that was our favorite read from a select month. The City We Became won May hands down, and I read several excellent books that month. This incredible urban fantasy might even be my favorite read of the whole year. Every time I pass a Starbucks I chuckle and imagine it coming to life as a monster. #Fantasy #LGBTQ #DiverseBooks
