Children need to see themselves in the pages of a book.
Ruffing Montessori School encourages young readers to share and borrow books that celebrate all people, cultures, and experiences. Reading in color brings the World to our students, aligning with our guiding “North Star” that is peace education.
Celebrating our diversity is beautiful.
Everyone needs to be represented in books. Children should see themselves in the pictures and hear their voice in the stories that they read and are read. We all have a place in the world and in the imagination. Join the rainbow we are!
