Teaching Tolerance Project

Excellent collection of case studies, tips and resources for teaching young children how to accept and embrace diversity in all its forms. I work in a preschool where teachers at our school already work on many of these concepts, and having read this book will help me support their work when I have informal conversations with the kids as I go about my day.

Six highly qualified child educators and writers contributed to this book. Unfortunately it is not indexed, but the table of contents goes a long way toward making up for that. Beginning on page 199 are 47 pages of books suggested for work with very young children. They are broken up into categories ranging from racial and ethnic diversity to developing values.
