Reading about characters who share my perspective lets me know that there are other humans who also share my perspective. It creates a community in my heart.
Representation in literature is so important!
For the ones who never see themselves in stories… and deserve to.
Celebrating diverse stories to create empathy and understanding is vital to form kind and caring human beings.
Representation matters 💗
It is so important to see yourself and your lived experience in books and media. We are committed to ensuring these books are available in our LFLs.
People deserve to see themselves in the pages of books, learn from others lived experiences, and feel seen.
