I love reading
I believe every child deserves to see themselves in books and discover the stories of others. I’m taking the Read in Color pledge to celebrate diverse voices, build empathy, encourage understanding, and help create a more welcoming community where every reader feels represented, valued, inspired, and connected.
Because we should all be represented in books!
Our community values diversity and inclusion. We welcome all to our neighborhood!
Important for children to see all kinds of voices represented and all kinds of stories told
