Check out Shen's Books: Great resource for stories about different Asian cultures

Hi everyone!

While looking for multicultural children's books I came across Shen's Book. Shen's Book is "a publisher of multicultural children’s literature that emphasizes cultural diversity and tolerance, with a focus on introducing children to the cultures of Asia" (Shen's Book website).

Also, Shen's Book has a Youtube Channel called ShensBooks where they have a segment named "The Multicultural Minute." During the one minute clips, they interview authors and share book titles.

If you need a place to find books on different Asian cultures, definitely check out Shen's Book.

The website is http://www.shens.com/.

Here is a video clip of "The Multicultural Minute," too. Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQxeCqmskjs&feature=related. In the video, Renee shares book titles featuring biracial characters for older children (middle school & YA).

Better yet - check out this video clip right above this posting!!!
