So that all people can see themselves in books!
All children should feel represented in the books they read as well able to regularly read about other families and lifestyles.
We need books that show the world. Diversity adds interest and dimension.
I believe in the importance of all people being seen and represented in literature.
I live near a high school. I believe diversity is important to all but mostly to those finding their way in the world.
