I never set out to make comprehensive book lists. For personal self-esteem reasons I usually like to identify a classic as one that was written before I was born, but as that is increasingly difficult ( no need to go down that road) these are limited to the 20th century, at least. As I explained in my series of classic book lists The term "classic" is extremely subjective. Some of these titles you may recognize and I hope you will get to the library to read the others. But what about classic picture books? There are indeed some wonderful diverse, multicultural books that many of us remember from our childhood. The "We Need Diverse Books" campaign is picking up steam and it looks like publishers are indeed making an effort to publish diverse picture books which reflect the multicultural world we live in.
