We All Have A Heritage




Title: We All Have A Heritage
Author: Sandy Lynne Holman
Copyright Date: 2002
Publisher: The Culture C.O.O.P.

Possible Theme: Heritage, Diversity, Ancestors

Personal Response: This book tells about the diversity of all people. It has beautiful illustrations on every page. You could use this book when discussing “about me” writing or just as a lesson on history and how it influences who we are. This book is simple yet it hits on many topics such as ancestors, traditions, names, races, languages, holidays, etc. Yet the underlining thought is always “we all” have a heritage. It is nice for children to see that even if we are different it also means we are the same because everyone is human and our good actions towards others is what really matters.

Student Journal Entry: Write about a tradition that your household celebrates. Share your tradition with the class.

Activity: Does your family have a special traditional custom that they would like to share? Have parents come in and share special costumes or fancy clothes, cultural food, or maybe a traditional song/game.

Website: The culture C.O.O.P. (caring, optimistic, open minded, people) website HERE promotes understanding and respect for diversity.
