“Liang, Tao, and Hosp share a passion for the potential of literature to make a difference in children’s lives. Their commitment to courageous conversations with real children in real classrooms is reflected in this valuable work. The volume provides suggested book sets, activities, discussion prompts, and other resources that are effective starting points for teachers.”
