Multicultural Books for Children: Right Now, It’s a White, White World

Multicultural Books for Children: Right Now, It’s a White, White World
The heroine of Valynne Maetani’s young adult mystery novel Remnants of the Rising Sun is a sheltered Utah native whose life is turned upside down when she discovers her deceased father was a member of the mafia. It’s an unusual tale made more unique because the novel’s central character is Japanese-American, and the mafia chasing after her is the Yakuza.http://www.takepart.com/article/2013/06/27/childrens-books-too-white
