I like the ADL World of Difference site: http://www.adl.org/bibliography/ For disability, see: https://www.acrl.org/ala/awardsgrants/awardsrecords/schneideraward/2009_schneider_bio_children.pdf For more links to recommended and award-winning diverse children's literature (ethnicity, disability, LGBT and more): http://libguides.lib.msu.edu/content.php?pid=279568&sid=2307823
In our session at the AJL convention we discussed the need for a select bibliography of Jewish books for children, young adults, and adults which portray or are about Jews with disabilities. I did not see this in the AJL bibliography bank. If anyone would like to work on this, I would be willing to coordinate. If someone has already done this, please let me know! Deborah J.

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).
