I believe in the power of books to transform lives. Access to diverse and representative literature is essential for fostering understanding, curiosity, and lifelong learning.
Taking the Color Pledge is an absolute honour! We should always cherish all voices, small, big, and shaky. How comfortable we are in a book. Reading connects us all, a book will hold your hand. Guide you through another’s experience. Love truely is all about fresh air, love and communication.
Our worlds open up when we read about experiences different to our own. It’s so important to us that everyone sees themselves and can connect with others through stories! We pledge to READ IN COLOR!
