KF LIBRARY

“When there are enough books available that can act as both windows and mirrors for all our children, they will see that we can celebrate both our differences and our similarities because together they are what make us all human.”

Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors, by Rudine Sims Bishop, 1990

One of the easiest ways to introduce Sikhism into your classroom is by adding books about Sikhism or with Sikh characters to your classroom library. These books can be mirrors for Sikh students to see themselves reflected in literature and windows into the beliefs, practices, and experiences of Sikhs in the US and around the world. ​

Below are some additional resources about Sikhs and the Sikh identity that we have read and enjoyed.  We hope you will read and enjoy them as well!
