So I was burning away some time watching videos of Bob Dylan on YouTube instead of confronting my homework as I commonly do, when I randomly stumbled upon this, solving the issue of how my next post would include Bob Dylan.
What are the chances that today's date, September 23, 2008, would host the release of a Bob Dylan lyric-based children's book? I couldn't find a whole lot of information on the book so I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but apparently the illustrations (Paul Rogers) compliment the lyrics quite well. The best blurb I could find on it was at Amazon which can be seen here.
I suppose this doesn't exactly fall under the category of multiculturalism, but it definitely applies to children's literature and is right down my alley.
If you want to check out the complete song you can listen to that here. Or there's a pretty awesome version of it here with The Band at their "Last Waltz".

Hmm, I guess the whole "let's make a book out of a popular, meaningful song!" isn't something new, but it's still pretty neat. I'm surprised that they did animation and everything--and not just the Reading Rainbow powerpoint deal. Good find!
