So important to celebrate diversity and understanding
Reading is so important and I want to help make this a reality for all and I support this movement to make books of color to have a little one say “they look just like me”.
Everyone should have access to books that represent them and their community.
I love sharing books of all diversity in my LFL. I live in a rural community of little racial diversity so it is more important than ever to reach out through books.
It is so important to see yourself on the pages of the books you read. Support authors of color! #readlatinolit
It’s always important for every child to see himself represented and valued in literature, especially early on during the formative years.
More diversity equals a better world!
