All people benefit from reading books written and or illustrated by a diverse community of authors and illustrators. In particular, all children need to see themselves and a wide variety of people reflected in the illustrations and stories that are read to them.
Because everyone should see themselves represented
It’s important for me to share books that everyone in my community can enjoy and see themselves in. I also want to raise awareness and support inclusion of persons of all colors, races, sexual preferences, abilities, cultures, and religions.
I love having books that represent readers of all colors. It’s so important for my kids to see people like them in books!
Inclusiveness is only the beginning in reaching others….
