This reference guide to more than 600 books includes reading lists organized by region, country, and age range (4-12) along with helpful indexes. The author, a former missionary, home schools her multicultural family, and has written several books and blogs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Each listing includes a brief description of the book, its themes, and content Christian parents might want to know about.<\/li>\n<li>Most of the books are fiction but some nonfiction is included as well.<\/li>\n<li>Few of these volumes are actually written by authors from the country or culture they describe; you will have to dig deeper for that. On the other hand, American readers may be able to get many of these with just a library card. In fact, I found this book itself through my local library.<\/li>\n<li>Introductory material and sidebars throughout include other tips on raising globally minded kids.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00bb <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0310344131\" target=\"_blank\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0310344131\">Learn more or purchase from Amazon<\/a> (or elsewhere) at US$10.98 for the paperback edition and US$6.99 for Kindle.
