Goal

To create a growing global citizenship picture book library for our community of learners that focuses on multicultural people and places around the world, as well as people creating positive change through their global community service initiatives. By purchasing these book subscriptions, our teachers and students will gain access to a variety of resources to foster multicultural awareness by developing a mindset of global citizenship. 

 

What will be done with my students

These resources will arrive monthly and/or bi-monthly for our students. The excitement created by receiving new materials will keep students invested in their learning. When books arrive, we will host an opening book box celebration that honors the country and/or community service effort highlighted in that month's theme. By reading these books, engaging in multi-cultural activities, and fostering open dialogue around our differences, our students will be better able to have a global perspective. Additionally, by focusing on others global community service initiatives, our students will be inspired to engage in community service projects of their own both locally and globally. 

 

Benefits to my students

To give students access to global, diverse, and multi-cultural perspectives in order to fulfill our school's mission to inspire our students to lead lives of significance and cultivate quality of character.

For Purpose Kids -- About Us: "We envision a future where children learn love and acceptance over hatred and fear, and it carries into their adulthood as they become global citizens. Where we not only embrace our differences, we celebrate them. Where we live in gratitude and focus on sharing with those who have less. Our Toolkits inspire children to learn about being kind and doing good for people, communities, animals & the environment through activities, books and events. Built upon a subscription model for ongoing, interactive learning, the Toolkits engage [students] in meaningful conversations using multicultural characters and stories. There’s no better way to foster kindness and compassion in the world than through education and storytelling focused on compassion, rather than noticeable differences." (quoted from About Us from https://forpurposekids.com/)

Momo's Book Club-- "Momo's Book Club gives [adults] and [children] the same language and context to learn and discuss our diverse world. Every month you'll receive books based on a theme for ex. Fierce Females or Diverse Characters. You'll receive carefully curated, colorfully wrapped books that make talking about the world fun and easy."
