It is the right thing to do.
When I was a middle school teacher at a Title I school many of my students struggled with reading. When I was able to provide them access to books where they could see themselves represented they were visibly uplifted and encouraged to read.
EVERYONE deserves to be represented and seen.
i love to read in color and learn about it and all the uses of reading in color and how it helps me to grow and find time to spend with my family and friends and be a good reader
