Give children the support of being rooted in their culture and the strength to soar beyond prejudice and discrimination; give them roots and wings. With this new approach to multicultural education, and the activities and strategies in Roots & Wings, you can create a culturally responsive program (center, nursery school, parent education). This long-needed perspective on how culture influences life in your classroom and the importance of maintaining culture in the lives of young children can change how you provide multicultural education.
