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.
