Mixed Up: my ant's mysteries
Every family has a story worth telling.In this melting-pot of a world, where cultures blend, separate, or sometimes clash, it's important to remember our heritage. Our skins' colors may be different, our grandparents may have strange last names, but if we look far enough into our families' histories, we'll find we're becoming a nation, and a world, of humans with surprisingly similar backgrounds. Teaching our children to learn and appreciate the adversities their ancestors overcame is the first step in showing them how they can improve the world they live in, for generations to come.Mixed Up opens up the dialogue for your child to explore the wonders of their unique, yet similar, ant's mysteries - regardless of the world's ever-changing definition of 'Family'.www.lionheartgrouppublishing.com

A heartwarming story between a white grandmother and her African-American grandson.
As young Nicholas nibbles on his chocolate chip cookie - a metaphor for his mixed heritage - his kindhearted NaMa tells him the story of his ancestors and where they all came from. In muted tones of sepia and black and white, the artwork in this book calls to mind any family's old photograph albums. Nicholas learns that his people come from many places, and that his family tree is made up of hope and hard work and never giving up on the American dream.
I highly recommend this award-winning book to every family who needs to be reminded that most of us are a blend of many peoples from many places.
