For a Winter 2011 course on Curricular Approaches to Multicultural and Equity Studies, I decided to read One Crazy Summer (2010) by Rita Willams-Garcia and chronicle how I read the book and think about teaching the book in the Introduction to Children's Literature class I teach to undergraduate Education majors after having taken this course.

p168-172 The Clark Sisters
Even just by having three sisters featured in this story, we still get a small variety of different perspectives and multiple stories. Delphine’s understanding of Cecile’s rejection of of her daughters is contrasted with her sister’s questioning. I also like the set up of Delphine being thoughtful of having not gotten Cecile a souvenir and her sisters denying their mother in the previous chapter with their mother’s denial of them in this chapter. This book has nicely thoughtful, resonate moments.
