She might enjoy some of the poems from AMAZING FACES by Lee Bennett Hopkins or any of the "dream" poems from THE DREAMKEEPER by Langston Hughes (some available online). Janet Wong also has several lovely collections she might enjoy-- THE NIGHT GARDEN, TWIST, GOOD LUCK GOLD. <br /><br />Best of luck!Sylvia Vardellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00570078181499700656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-44703655607646092102011-01-10T10:30:42.085-06:002011-01-10T10:30:42.085-06:00Hi!

She is 25% Thai, 25% African American, & 50% caucasian of European descent (Italian, swiss, irish). Wondering if anything special comes to your mind. We are American citizens.... learning about our roots. Her father was born in Thailand. She is going to wear a traditional Thai dress. I thought something multicultural would be perfect since we are made of so many pieces. Found your website and thought I'd ask.
