Our missionBooks 4 Cultural Competence (B4CC) aims to improve k-12 community (students, teachers, parents and other stakeholders) cultural competence by strengthening self-awareness, awareness of others, cultural knowledge, and cross-cultural skills.
As part of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month (May 1-31) in 2021, Books 4 Cultural Competence (B4CC) is advocating for the public to join us in the efforts to promote increased awareness of Asian American culture, history and their contributions to our communities and country by donating book titles from our carefully curated booklist to K-12 classrooms and libraries across the state of Washington.

A lovely surprise arrived this week...so many beautiful books donated by Mandarin Playground that will be read and appreciated by Seattle Country Day School community.I want to thank you personally for your donation on behalf of our school. A major goal of our school is to increase diversity, expand equity, and we are resolved to being an inclusive and welcoming community. Your generous donation goes a long way to helping us achieve our goal! And personally, I feel that there is nothing quite as satisfying as children becoming more internationally minded and emotionally intelligent as a result of reading a fabulous book.

We had a chance to show the class each book. It tied in perfectly to my lesson on Women's History month and our work identifying their “Contribution”.

I honestly state with delight that I am very thankful that you are spreading knowledge and awareness about Asian-Americans and the experiences that they have gone through. It's nice for people to understand others in our society, and you have done exactly that.
