Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the representation of multicultural characters in the text and illustrations of books offered in book clubs. A major publishing company provided these specific book clubs. The books were chosen from two separate book clubs that were identifiable by grade level. Three hundred and twenty books were examined. Books that did not have human characters in the illustrations and/or story line were eliminated from the study. Each book was read, illustrations were scrutinized and an excel spreadsheet was created that indicated cultural representations and relevance. Cultural relevance was determined to be either culturally neutral of culturally specific relevance. After all the books were analyzed, charts and graphical representations were made to demonstrate the variations in the story line and illustrations depicting culture.
