Reading in color allows us to embrace beauty of diversity!
Want to promote diversity in reading with books about/by people of color.
We need more positive, diverse reading materials in our area to encourage equality and kindness.
Embracing diversity requires us to expand how we think, what we read, and the books we share.
Now more than ever, we need to view the world with empathy.
Because these books are currently being banned in my community. I am on a mission to read all of the challenged books and donate to Little Free Libraries.
I want to know the stories of people who do not look like me.
I tutored with the Friends Learning in Pairs (FLIP) Volunteer Program in the Nashville, TN public schools the past four years. I appreciated the diverse book titles available for my students of color and wish to offer Read in Color books in my Little Free Library in Wyoming.
