Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

A closer look at several multicultural picture books reveals images of families interacting with one another that educators might focus on as one way to counteract the media’s often stereotypical portrayal of the lives of people of color. The simple act of exposing children to books that include references, textual and visual, to a more positive life of relationships is certain to make a difference in their daily lives.
