Pre-school books with ethnic minority characters

I'm looking for books with non-white or a mixture of ethnic backgrounds for preschool age children. But not books about diversity per se. (We have several books which are about celebrating diversity) Just regular stories. To add to our early years library at school.
Books about routine life but where the characters aren't all white.
Any suggestions?
We have "So Much" and "Lima's Red hot chilli"
TIA

"Handas Surprise" is good.
We also have "look up" which I really love.

Nick Sharratt's Goldilocks.

There are a lot of good books on Mighty Girl.
