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.

p80-85 Everyone Knows the King of the Seas
All the same, while the book has these big ideas and big topics in it, I think the main character mulls them over in a childish way, often relating them to herself and her stories which then helps connect the ideas to the reader as we use story as a means of making connections, especially with those unlike ourselves (Rudine Sims-Bishop’s windows and mirrors).
