[MOSAIC] Race, Identity, Relationships and Literature

[Harvey Family]

Another possibility: Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy by Gary D.
Schmidt. Newbery Honor book, more companionship than romance but definitely
deals with race impacting relationships. Outstanding



How does race inform identity and impact relationships?

We are beginning to brainstorm novels which could be used with this study.
Here is what we have so far:

Iggy;s House
Maniac Magee
Edger Allen

Help!! In my former life, I was a first and second grade teacher.  Can you
help us build this list?  I would love to include a book in which there was
romance impacted by race, but it needs to be relatively tame.

Thank you all in advance!!
