Cultural Reading for the classroom

Ok it's a new year! Starting a blog, keeping family first and reading more. I took a class called Parents On You Side through Lee Canter. I took a few ideas from this class --- one that I thought helped me and my families would be to read more literature about cultural and traditions to better undersatnd my complea mix of families in the classroom. I have families from Germany, Middle-East , China and India and they all have different values in regards to family, education  and social interaction. I hope to learn more. So today I will begin my Inquiry into family life through books. So I  found one book that might be a great start...What do you think?
