Because I am a volunteer educator in diversity equity and inclusion
We read to walk in the footsteps of others, and learn new ways of being and understanding our shared world. We need all voices telling their own stories to paint the fullest picture of possibilities.
Everyone deserves to see themselves in a story and reading about others helps build unity and inclusivity.
I am currently doing a family build of our Free Little Library. Our library is almost ready to register! Books are the eyes to the world and beyond. ❤️
Children should be aware of all races, religions, etc so they can form their own opinions and hopefully open minds. Be kind to your neighbor, no matter who they are.
I want to model reading diverse literature so that my students do the same thing.
The world is more beautiful in color. Diversity in stories makes the world a better place for everyone.
