10 incredible picture books that celebrate diversity

Raising our children in a multi-racial and multi-cultural family, I find it important to celebrate diversity. I like introducing books to my children that reflect a multi-racial and diverse environment, just like the one we live in in the heart of NYC. I also find it important to select books by diverse authors and illustrators.

The following ten books are great books to read together as a family. Suitable for families from all different walks of life and cultural backgrounds.
