We love learning geography and lately we have been getting more into studying culture and the world around us. For the past couple of years we have read many great Multicultural Books for kids and have added a lot of them to our home library. Here are some of our favorites.
Multicultural Books for Kids
If you are interested in the definition for Multicultural it is:
MY OTHER PROJECTSof, relating to, reflecting, or adapted to diverse cultures. *Found in the Merriam Webster Dictionary
You can also check out great ways to incorporate Cultural learning into your homeschooling on Montessori Geography and Culture and Easy Ways to Teach Montessori Culture.
Children Just Like Me: A Unique Celebration of Children Around the World. This has been a favorite to use with our Montessori Culture studies. I think all children love looking at other children and learning about them.
Children Just Like Me: Celebrations! Another great book to add to your homeschooling shelves.
A Life Like Mine: How Children Live Around the World
A School Like Mine: A Unique Celebration of Schools Around the World. A mind-broadening journey to classrooms around the world.

Around the World We Go! Go around the world with this beautifully illustrated picture book from Margaret Wise Brown. My kids love this book!
Global Babies This is such a sweet board book. My kids enjoyed this book for years.
The Colors of Us A positive and affirming look at skin color, from an artist’s perspective. I love books like this.
In a Village by the Sea A perfect book for teaching about diverse cultures and lifestyles through rich pictures and words. This is a great book to add to your home library.

Studies have shown that if you really like this, you will also love the following articles. 🙂 I have pulled them together for you right here!
Ooh, I just learned about the Margaret Wise Brown book from your list — I’ll have to check it from the library if they have it! Thanks!
Oh, I am definitely adding three of these titles to our shopping list – Global Babies, Celebrations, and the Colours of Us look like they would be favourites around here.
I think multicultural books are always important – but especially if children are not exposed to enough multicultural experiences in their daily lives.
What a great list of books. We will have to check some of them out.
What a beautiful collection of books. We’ve read a couple, but I’m definitely going to have to check some of these others out.
