Because I believe reading is a right not a priviledge. Reading takes you places even though you’re static. Reading is enjoyable and necessary.
I believe EVERY child, EVERY person should be able to see themselves in a book. I commit to help make this happen and to always celebrate diversity.
Everyone deserves to see themselves in books! And the rest of us need to increase our empathy and understanding of others.
Reading is one of the ways we can learn about each other.
