I feel it is so important to read and share diverse books because we gain so much by being exposed to different people and different ways of life.
Every child should have access to every story.
To help all to respect one another
Readers need to see themselves in the books they read and books provide us with windows to the lives of others!
Learning about diversification from an early age promotes understanding, respect and appreciation. It benefits all of us. I proudly support the Read in Color campaign. Together we can help grow a better world for us and future generations.
Reading is FUNdamental!!
