Reading opens worlds to us all! Encouraging “reading in color” can help change the world -one child- one person at a time🌻

I think representation is important and I have really enjoyed reading books by diverse authors and want to support others being able to see themselves in books and do the same!
We want to do our part to create change.
I’ve had schools that offered other options for our main reads and have always enjoyed these books with a different cultural point of view. I want everyone to have this option.
