I want to make the world a better place and open to everyone.
I am taking the pledge because I think it is important for students of all ages, backgrounds, and histories to see themselves in the works they are reading!
I believe in the importance of being able to ‘find yourself’ in the pages of storybooks, especially for young children, across the lifespan. The excitement and adventure of READING and connecting through BOOKS should be open to ALL individuals!
My goal is to help shine a light on dope authors!
All children need to be able to see themselves in books.
To learn about and celebrate all people from all backgrounds, cultures and creeds!
