People Written and Illustrated By Peter Spier
People offers a child-friendly yet dynamic view of different cultures that highlights important differences while underscoring the similarities of our humanness.
Target Age: Kindergarten and 1st grade
Springboards for lessons: using this book naturally lends itself to cultural and racial discussions. After reading People, students can create storyboards, a combination of text and pictures, about their own culture, traditions, and what makes them unique. This lesson would illuminate each student’s unique cultural and racial heritage while still emphasizing that even though we are different we all very similar because we are all human.
