For me, every time that I have a problem or I have gotten to a point in my life where I need some sort of help, I always turn to books. I think that books can offer models of ways to find hope, find healing if that is the case.
They can offer
they can open the eyes of children that do not know anything about other cultures. Like, for example, if I had a child
if I were a teacher and I had a child that I found that perhaps is not getting along with
with someone from another culture, I would actually look for a book that talks about these classmate’s cultures.
So for this child to learn because it’s really in knowing about each other’s traditions that we learn to respect one another that we understand why is it then that
that the other person behaves the way that they behave. It is so important to know about the other’s culture, religion, traditions, you know, heritage before making a judgment.
