It will be character day at school (where all the teachers and pupils dress up as an character), and it would be nice for an ethic/afro-caribbean teacher to represent....!
All we can seem to come up with is Pochahontas again this year..surely there are more?

Do you mean a childrens storybook ethnic character? Fuzzy thinking! How about 'Mowgli'? or is Rudyard Kipling too non PC? Pinnochio - Italian? There are many, varied and rich childrens stories from other cultures but they do not necessarily contain characters with which we are familiar. Let the ethnic/afro-caribbean teacher choose their own favourite character and if it is not one the children recognise then what a wonderful opportunity for the teacher to tell them the story!

It would be nice if you specified which ethnicities you were looking for. Mulan and Aladdin come to first to mind as one with which most would be familiar. Others are more obscure, but you could always introduce ethnic characters as well - check in Wikipedia's List of Fairytales.

Momma undergo is likewise "ethnic" and he or she is brown. you be attentive to of the three bears. i'm sorry. I look reaching now. stable success! playstation i admire somebody's Mulan suggestion and that i myself theory-approximately Little Black Sambo who replaced into Indian, i think of, as in from India. I nevertheless have my replica of that e book from over 50 years in the past!

Try Handa's Surprise by Eileen Browne. A tale set in Africa about a girl carrying fruit and her adventure. Well worth it.

Jasmine from Aladdin is an ethnic character. She is arabian. There is also Heidi and I think she has some alpine in her.
