I believe in books being windows, mirrors and sliding doors… this initiative supports that research. The world needs more diverse texts and stories being shared!
The more we read, the more we know & the more we grow!
I am a K-6 ESL Teacher
I wish to promote marginalized people and representation in books. I want my neighbors and walkers who stop at my library to have access to books which they might not have seen or thought possible, books with people of all members of society, positive images.
