Greetings!
Wouldn’t it be great to walk in to first day of school & already know some fun facts about each other’s cultural backgrounds, rather than make fun of head coverings or spicy lunch boxes?
How do you teach kids about different cultures, food, festivals & religions in this growing multicultural environment?
Having traveled to & written about 85+ countries, I realized that people (esp kids) everywhere are the same, once we look past our differences in skin tones & nationalities. It is our duty, as adults, to expose young minds to not only accept, but cherish, our differences, so they grow up to be compassionate world citizens.
Even if you don't have the time or energy to travel abroad, eat at ethnic restaurants, or attend international festivals, you can read
Beato Goes To children's picture books at bedtime and start the conversation. Who doesn't love stories of a traveling cat, right?
Hope you had a wonderful summer & welcome back to a diverse classroom!
Happy reading,
Sucheta

Latest Reviews...
"In Beato Goes to Japan, children and adults alike can follow Beato’s epic adventures through a fascinating country. Travel along with Beato as he explores the bustling city of Tokyo, tries Japan's culinary delicacies, basks in the beauty of Japan's famous cherry blossom flowers (called sakura in Japanese), goes on a scuba diving adventure with manta rays in the blue waters of Okinawa island, learns the ancient art of Japanese calligraphy, and visits peaceful, centuries-old temples.
I presented this book to my elementary school students in Japan, and I’m glad they'll be able to enjoy Beato’s curious, friendly personality! Not only is it fun to read, the eye-popping illustrations capture the reader's attention and bring the story to life. I would highly recommend the Beato series to readers of all ages.
Beato is one cool cat, and I enjoyed learning about his travels around the world in this wonderful series!" ~ Monica, elementary school teacher
