The Giver by Lois Lowry

This book is one of my Multicultural and International books.

This book talks about a town that is set in its ways. At certain ages you gain new items that tells the rest of the town what age you. In this book Jonas learns that having everything perfect is not always right. Jonas is a young boy that becomes the training giver. The giver contains all the memories and truth behind everything. As the Story progresses Jonas learns that even his parents are not perfect and do things that seem so unfit. In the story Jonas learns what it means to be released and tries to save the young baby that his father is the caregiver of. By doing this Jonas has to escape the perfect world he knows to a land that he does not know. I would use this book to teacher students about diversity and how everything is not black and white. Everyone is different and these differences make us all who we are.
