Everyone deserves to see themselves in a story and reading about others helps build unity and inclusivity.
I am currently doing a family build of our Free Little Library. Our library is almost ready to register! Books are the eyes to the world and beyond. ❤️
Children should be aware of all races, religions, etc so they can form their own opinions and hopefully open minds. Be kind to your neighbor, no matter who they are.
I want to model reading diverse literature so that my students do the same thing.
The world is more beautiful in color. Diversity in stories makes the world a better place for everyone.
Fits with what I’m already doing – seeking out books that are inclusive, that show the diversity of humanity to share with young children.
Love is love
Representation Matters!
