I am really digging the culture-infused YA and kids literature that doesn't explain non-white cultural experiences, symbols, clothing, food, etc. to white audiences. Books like Hani and Ishu are written for Bengali audiences and white readers are just along for the ride. This is a welcome shift from the kids lit that I was reading in the 90s, hell, even the 2010s.
