As a Latina, I understand the underrepresentation of BIPOC in printed material and intend to share diverse books to help others feel represented and included.
We would like to be a part of making inclusion for all people the new normal.
Because our country and world need to understand each other and work together to make this planet a good place for all.
Everyone deserve to see themselves in a book.
It’s important
I’ve always been committed to sharing diverse stories through reading with my own children and beyond. My first donate to LFL included 14 books featuring stories of and by POC, even before I knew of “Read In Color”. Great minds think alike! Wonderful mission!
Sharing diverse books is important because it helps to empower and grow readers!
