The Journey Begins!

I am excited to start sharing my thoughts, recommendations, and resources on great children's books with you! As you join me on this journey, I'd love to hear your thoughts, recommendations, and resources, too! Let's journey together friends, increasing awareness of the need for, and the availability of, great multicultural books in every classroom, school, and home!

I agree that children should be able to see their faces reflected in the literature they read and the shows that they watch on T.V. When it comes to adoption specific literature, there are some books that perpetuate very negative ideas that could be harmful to adopted children. I have some reviews of books for adopted children on my blog: http://redthreadbroken.wordpress.com/category/childrens-books-reviews/

I completely agree! As a family formed through adoption, we are very aware of the few great children's books about adoption as well as the many not-so-great books that are out there. Thank you for bringing this up and for sharing your link!

"Mama-Lady"

I'm a homeschooling mama of two inquisitive kiddos, ages 13 and 10, and the wife of one creative husband, age 42. I have a background in Special Education, I love to read, write, teach, cook, and travel with my family, exploring this beautiful world God gave us, and I love sharing great stories with children and the adults who care for them!

Our family was formed through international adoption, so we are intentional about parenting (and teaching) multiculturally. I'm excited to share what resources we've found so far that help us do this the best we can!

You can feel good knowing that you'll not only be supporting me (a work-at-home mom!) as I receive a small percentage of the sales, but also a really great independent Michigan bookstore, Schuler Books.

When I first started Mama-Lady Books, I only sold Barefoot Books. Once I
decided to focus on my passion for multicultural children's books, I expanded to include
books from other publishing companies as well. But Barefoot Books remains
close to my heart as it's an outstanding company that creates beautiful and
meaningful books for children ages birth to age twelve! Although my focus
is on the multicultural books that Barefoot publishes, I greatly enjoy the
others as well. So do our kids! If you would like to be a part of this book-loving, book-promoting,
book-selling community, please contact me for details! I love what I do,
and I'd be honored to have you on my team!
