15 Diverse Books We are Reading to Our Twins
15
items Our definition of diversity might be a little broader than others--in our house we focus on learning about people who don't look like us (race, physical differences, such as disability,) people who don't live like us (socioeconomic differences), peop...
A lovely way to introduce the fact that some people have different ways of getting around and the concept of a service dog.
Hello Goodbye Dog
I love this book and so do the twins (which is really all that matters). I had a parent who worked nights growing up, so it was important for me to teach the twins early on that not all jobs happen during the day. An extra bonus - the characters incl...
All Through the Night: Important Jobs That Get Done at Night
A lovely book to introduce kids to a variety of amazing women! Also- the alphabet haha. My only gripe is V is for Venus, goddess of love. Just- why!? Everyone else in the book is a real person. Venus Williams one of the GOATs of tennis was right ther...
A Is for Awesome!: 23 Iconic Women Who Changed the World
A fun way to show kids what we have in common and yet how we're still all different.
We're Different, We're the Same (Sesame Street)
This book really has a little bit of everything! Racial diversity, socioeconomic diversity, persons with disabilities. The twins have recently started asking us “what is a soup kitchen?” so we've been able to start slowly talking about how not everyo...
Last Stop on Market Street
Almost more of a list than a story, but a short read about how all kids are good kids, no matter what their differences are.
All Kids Are Good Kids
I love reading books to the kids about traditions that are different than our own. I learned something new with this book too!
Winter's Gifts
Another fun book to introduce your kids to another culture/celebration that may be different than your own!
Celebrate the Day of the Dead!
A sweet board book for young kids that illustrates how all babies are going through the same thing-- no matter what they look like.
Everywhere Babies Board Book
Celebrates the diversity in everything- from homes, to roads, to animals in the forest. I especially love this book for identical twins.
No Two Alike
A sweet story about a boy with a pet elephant. I love that it teaches openness to differences in a subtle child friendly way.
Strictly No Elephants
A lovely book to illustrate that it takes all kinds to make the world go round. If you see something different to you- just ask.
Just Ask!: Be Different, Be Brave, Be You
I know, I know. You might be rolling your eyes--how can a famous white guy be diverse?! The reason I include it is because I think it's important for little white boys to know they don't have to be into sports or business or other things that get ste...
Pablo Picasso|Hardcover
Cute penguins help kids learn that not all families look the same!
And Tango Makes Three (School and Library Edition)|Paperback
A great book for teaching kids that children with disabilities are just like them- they want to make friends, play games, read books- be included.
Included: A book for ALL children about inclusion, diversity, disability, equality and empathy|Paperback
