We always read in color, so of course would take this pledge! we have a free little library on our street actually, and would love to share these books with the free library as it definitely is not as varied as the books we get ourselves from the library
As an educator in a diverse school district, it’s especially important for me to share books with my students and families that represent them, their cultures, their traditions, and their languages. All children need to be able to point to a page in a book and say, “That’s my world!”
For my students.
As a T-L, I have a passion for reading and ensuring that children develop a love for reading. #RepresentationMatters
