Dear Emily, Kar-Ben's immigration stories including Sydney Taylor award winners "Mendel's Accordion" and Feivel's Flying Horses" (there's a wonderful curriculum guide to this one pu out by the Smithsinian!) would be good candidates for this, as would Carolivia Herron's "Always an Olivia." Our books with special eneds themes "Nathan Blows out the Hanukkah Candles" dealing with autism and the new "Jeremy's Dreidel" (fall 2012) dealing with blindness, would also be good for your programs.

Is there a booklist with book suggestions for students in grade 1-6 on the topic of diversity (immigrants, minorities) as well as disabilities. I am looking for books that have main characters who are ethnically and/or religiously diverse and or have a disability. I have the Invisible Inc. Series which has a main character who is Deaf (and another one who is invisible). Books can be both fiction and non-fiction; even poetry is welcome. The following are books I know of from my own experience, but any suggestions would be most welcome. Adler, D. A. (1993).
