According to the U.S. Census Bureau and a 2015 Pew Research finding, interracial marriages have become more common over the past decade. In spite of this reality, many people still seem to find it surprising when they see parents with their respective biracial kids. So, as a premier provider of child care in Riverdale, New York that aims to nurture children’s positive development, we wish to help you educate your young ones on how they should deal with their own uniqueness and mixed-race heritage.
Below is a list of 3 books that can help you teach your kids at a preschool in Manhattan, New York, that there is more to people than their skin color:
- “Black, White, and Tan” written by Nicole Mullen
A fun and uplifting read for children attending a summer camp in Briarwood, New York, the storybook follows the journey of a young girl named Jazz, as she shares the things that make her family unique. The story celebrates individuality while simultaneously addressing our commonality as human beings.
- “Happy to Be Me: A Kid’s Book About Self-Esteem” written by Christine Adams, Robert Butch, and R.W. Alley
