I’m signing the Little Free Library Read in Color pledge to ensure my child grows up seeing stories that reflect many cultures, voices and experiences. Diverse books build empathy, understanding and a broader view of the world; something every child deserves from the very beginning. Plus more adults need also!
Everyone has a voice to be heard.
We truly believe in sharing diverse books can change the world one reader at a time
Everyone deserves to see themselves in books while also experiencing new things!
I love living in a world with so many diverse cultures and backgrounds! Books are a fantastic way to learn about other perspectives and spark interesting conversations with the people around us.
I believe it is important for everyone, especially children to see someone who looks like them or their family in books!
