All children should have the opportunity to see themselves represented in the pages of a book. We all learn the value of diversity and inclusion when we read in color!
I want to build a LFF and have it stocked with books that represent my community!
I pledge to Read in Color by not only personally reading books from authors of diverse backgrounds, but also supplying my LFL with these books! I live in a diverse community, i’d like to share more diverse books with my visitors!
Reminding myself to keep diversity in mind as I select each book I read and share
It’s important for ALL kids to see ALL kinds of kids!
