Chante Thomas, is a twenty-five year veteran teacher in Shaker Heights, and has been writing children’s stories over the span of her career. As a mom, teacher, author, daughter, sister and cousin; I’ve always loved connecting with others by listening and sharing our unique experiences. It is my goal to provide enough information about a culture to inspire the reader to learn more and ultimately begin to explore what makes them special and unique.

Where I’m From...The book tells the geographic story of five diverse children with roots in the United States, Africa and Asia. The characters introduce themselves with a hometown factoid and something special about their heritage. When reading the story, one can’t help but feel a sense of pride about what makes them unique. Madhavi ends her story by asking the reader “Don’t you think I have the best of both worlds?”

Go To School Tommy is a conversation with a mom and her son written in verse. Tommy is very anxious about the first day of school. His mom reassures him that she is by his side and gives Tommy something to hold onto while at school. Continuing to read, this conversation appears to be a dream or is it? This 300-word book has 35 pages of beautiful illustrations that bring this story and surprise ending to life. We can all relate to the anxiety that Tommy feels on our first day of …..

“Having read this story aloud to children of all ages, it’s amazing to hear them share their own stories. Meeting the characters in the book helps students to think about geographic and cultural ways to describe where they live and who they are. We live in a multicultural, global society. By exposing young readers to relatable, diverse characters they begin to have an appreciation for those who are different and for sharing their own personal stories.
