Multicultural Children's Literature: "Blue Sky White Stars (Un Cielo Azul Blancas Estrellas)" by Sarvinder Naberhaus

 "Blue Sky White Stars (Un Cielo Azul Blancas Estrellas)" by Sarvinder Naberhaus is a children's book that briefly describes American history with a reflecting statement written in Spanish. This book tells the tale of togetherness and historical events of becoming one nation and celebrates the differences of the people within our nation. This book fits the multicultural genre by recognizing and celebrating the differences of people of our nation and reiterates the entirety of the book in Spanish. The artwork depicts individuals of multiple ethnicities coming together as one. The illustrations use rich colors and realism to emphasize the significance of our history as a country and importance of the varying cultures and ethnicities present within it. An activity to accompany this book could be writing out a chart of Spanish words and creating posters about the book in Spanish. This would help the class better understand the language in the book and bring the class together to celebrate their differences.
