Shen's Books is a publisher and resource for children’s books that promote cultural understanding. Their specialties include Cinderella tales from around the world, Asian and Latin American cultures, and immigrant lives in America. (and they have their own blog too now.)
Their latest catalog is being delivered now.
I think highlights include:
The Day the Dragon Danced by Kay Haugaard and Carolyn Reed Barritt (A truly muti-ethnic story about an African American girl who goes to the Chinese New Year parade to see her father dance in the dragon. Ages 4-8) You know how I love to see more Chinese New Year books so I am looking forward to that.
American Born Chinese by Gene Yang (Highly publicized graphic novel about the trials of growing up different. For ages 10 & up)
One Year in Beijing by Grace Lin (8-year-old Ling Ling shows us around her city, one month at a time. Ages 6 - 10)
I have bought books from them but have no relationship besdis satisfied customer.
