Open Windows Books

Open Windows Books is a non-profit inspired by the metaphor of comparing children's books to windows and mirrors: mirrors of the child's own experience and windows into the lived experience of others in our multicultural and diverse world.  The primary goal of Open Windows Books is to provide educators in Minnesota schools with high quality children's literature that accurately portrays the daily lives of children from diverse cultural backgrounds.  In addition, we collaborate with local colleges and school districts to offer training to local educators on best strategies for classroom incorporation of the literature we provide.
