This book has a great focus on accepting your culture and also being proud of it. It discusses not giving up who you are to fit in and being proud of the differences that make up your culture. It is a great book that would be great as a read aloud or for middle elementary students. Great discussion starter and you could do the same activity that they did in this book in your class.
