“It is essential that all people have the opportunity to see themselves represented with dignity and humanity in the books that we share. This promotes the growth of wellbeing, understanding, and acceptance in our world.”

Thanks you
Representation matters
Because I believe readers of all ages and colors should see themselves in the books they read!
I work with a diverse population and I am always looking for books that my students can identify with.
It’s so important to always be learning, growing, and overcoming our biases. Reading is one of the great ways to do that, even from home!
I believe the message behind the pledge is an important issue and needs to be addressed. This is a way to do so.
This little library is outside an elementary school. It is important for all students to be able to find themselves in books.
