Chapter Books

[close] From picture books and early readers, to chapter books and middle grade novels, the colorful world of children's books provides us with inspiration at an early age. Whether you want to share and discuss books that still resonate with you from your own childhood, or those that delight your own children today, this group is the place to do so.

[close] "Our Global Neighborhood: Celebrating Diversity and Community" is a bookshelf aimed at teaching children living in Japan about the importance of diversity and inclusion. Through a selection of books that feature characters from a variety of cultures, backgrounds, and identities, this bookshelf invites children to explore the rich diversity of our world and to celebrate what makes us all unique. It emphasizes the importance of community and the idea that we are all part of a global neighborhood. Whether your child is just starting to learn about different cultures or already has a deep interest in the world around them, "Our Global Neighborhood" is a wonderful resource for fostering empathy, understanding, and a sense of connection to the wider world.
