Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.
Great post! Diversity is so important, and especially in children's books!
ReplyDeleteGreat topic! I've only heard of one book on your list, so I definitely have some research to do. =)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Thank you for these. I needed some book recommendations for my nephew & what makes these even better are that they are diverse. I'll be adding all of these to my nephew's TBR. Thank you again for this post, it is wonderful & I'm so glad you shared it.

I loved, loved, loved Wonder! Great collection of books, Deb!
ReplyDeleteGreat list as ever Mrs Nance. I was getting worried scrolling down, but thankfully I've managed to read two of them- Wonder and Roll of Thunder.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I see a few that might work soon for my 1 year old granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteI've read five of these and have seven in my classroom library, so I'm feeling pretty proud over here. Lovely list; thank you!
ReplyDeleteHome of the Brave is so powerful, and it made me cry so much, all along! Would you recommend other books by the same author?
ReplyDeleteSo far, this is the first book of that author I have read.
DeleteYay for this list! It's so important to include diversity in children's books, because they can teach them a lot about acceptance. Wonder is one of the most well-written and gorgeous books I've ever read - every single person should read it, tbh.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I love diversity in children's books and am always looking for more. I see several that would appeal to my 7 year old.
ReplyDeleteReading more diversely is on my TTT list for this week and your recommendations and links will come in handy, thank you. My TTT link
ReplyDeleteRoll of Thunder, Hear My Cry has always been one of my favorites. :)

Some days when I read your lists I wish I was an Elementary Librarian. The story books are so lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd the stories can have a profound influence on young lives.
DeleteGreat topic and post! I'm so glad that diversity is being discussed and actively read.
ReplyDeleteDeb, great topic and list! I have read one book (Wonder), have wanted to read another for a while now(Roll of Thunder) and recently read about another(Last Stop on Market Street).. will add these to my list
