Check out this article in today's issue of the StarTribune titled, "Looking for books that reflect diverse students, Minnesota teachers publish their own."  The article by Maya Rao, highlights Elephant Huggy and The Hen and the Badger, both available in Ebooks Minnesota.  It also mentions a couple other books available in the collection, Dhegdheer and Wiil Waal.  Teachers, librarians, and educators are struggling to find books that portray diverse characters so there has been an upsurge in books representing world languages and cultures, in most cases they are published locally.
