Because children of color deserve the same representation.
Our rainbow 🌈 library will have books as diverse as the colors of the library itself
Representation is essential, one book at the time!
We believe in diversity and inclusion! We believe that all children should see themselves represented in the books they read or have read to them. We believe that literature is a beautiful way to learn about others!
Be everyone deserves to feel worthy.
Diversity in reading brings a greater understanding between the many cultures Children in America share,and can lead to a decrease in racism and encourage friendship where uncertainty used to be.
We live in Memphis Tennessee and down the street from a public elementary school so many children of color walk past our library on their way home from school. We want to showcase authors and characters that look like our beloved Memphis community
