Cause we are tired of the treatment our friends of color recieve. People need to educate themselves.
I believe children of all color should see themselves in the stories they read.
I have enjoyed ‘reading in color’ for a while now make efforts to extend to our LFL. Also thanks to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, my children have had access to some amazing books by Black authors.
Because it is important!
Representation is necessary.
I read diverse books and have always, I buy them and share at little libraries.
We need more of this pledge in my country. Books help us to get better
