Books for Public School
|
|
Books for Classrooms began in 2017 when striking Arizona teachers told us that school funding in Arizona had been so reduced in the last decade that there were no longer books in many classrooms. Art, music, and libraries are woefully inadequate after ten years of severely reduced funding. Sadly, that lack of support for schools continues today.

Our focus was on recent small and large press offerings that encourage an understanding of diversity, peace, social justice, and conflict resolution. Teachers asked that we include a category for the environment. After reading many lists, blogs, searching websites, and using our public library we have created a dynamic list of over 450 books in thirteen categories of diversity for grades K through 12, plus recommended books for teachers.
