This list includes works of fiction and non-fiction that emphasize
the importance of valuing diversity for both children and adults.

The books listed are taken from a pamphlet compiled by "Close the Book on Hate"
campaign, sponsored by Barnes & Noble and the Anti-Defamation League.
Through reading and discussion, children and their parents can better
understand the richness and beauty of our multicultural society.
