In an effort to enhance reading for children all over the world the International Children's Digital Library. This site has a a collection of children's books in multiple languages. They have made specific efforts to acquire books not just written in these languages but by native speakers and addressing native cultures. They based this effort on the idea that it is essential for people to have access to their native language and native culture. This creates a wonderful resource for educators who are working with immigrant populations or English Language Learners. Additionally Dual Immersion Language programs can really benefit from this resource as a place for students to find books and teachers to find materials to share. Most of the materials are available in PDF and can be printed or shared via an interactive whiteboard or projector systems.
