2020 "MISelf in Books " Diverse Book List
MAME MISelf in Books 2020 List
MISelf in Books is an annual list of diverse books for Michigan learners. The list was selected by a committee of certified school librarians who are members of the Michigan Association for Media in Education (MAME). These recommendations are based on books that they see learners reading and enjoying in their libraries. The books are all published in the last two years and written by #ownvoice authors and will include books for all grade levels: PreK-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12.
PLEASE SHARE THIS LIST WITHIN YOUR NETWORKS.
MAME believes strongly that all students need access to diverse books in order for students to see themselves in literature as well as to build empathy and respect for others by seeing people different from themselves in literature.
A list is that is screen-reader friendly, an app, and additional resources will available soon! Watch for more updates to follow.
