Self image matters, children, young adults, everyone needs a hero, an example, a person to look up to, something to strive for and emulate. Representation maters!
Diversity makes us stronger and everyone deserves a chance to read a story about someone like them. This is how we fall in love with reading. When you read you will always have a friend. . We need voices in every color, so there are readers in every color.
I am an author who has just published my first novel, HIGH WATER, and 100% of the royalties will be donated to charities including – Immigrantfamiliestogether.com to help reunite children with their parents who were separated at the U.S. border. Please look for my book in your neighborhood Little Library.
Books will benefit diverse students and families
