Social Bookmark 3: Skipping Stones

Skipping Stones is a non-profit, multicultural magazine intended for children and teens (approximately ages 8-16).   This magazine is unique because it promotes diversity and children’s writing simultaneously.    The magazine features articles written by adults that discuss diversity and world issues, and it also publishes essays and poems written by children.  This magazine is an excellent resource for teachers and librarians alike.  Both teachers and librarians can use this tool to help children learn about diversity, and they can encourage children to publish here so their voices are also heard.  This site is also a great place to find out about multicultural books because it gives out annual honor awards to outstanding multicultural books and lists of those books can be found on the site.
