Maestra's Memo: Reading can be a powerful tool for fostering tolerance & multicultural awareness.  Books can build bridges between people & cultures. Readimg helps children to travel to different times & places. Children can explore their own traditions & variations of those traditions. They can also explore traditions & practices that may not be familiar to them. Through reading, children can learn to celebrate diversity & find ways to connect with others.
