We’re a multiracial family and I want to have my children see themselves represented in the books we read together.
All children deserve to see themselves represented in books…and those books should be easily accessible.
Because I think it’s important to read about the world around us. And all the differences there are to appreciate.
Reading must represent everyone, reading needs to reflect EVERYONE.
I am a teacher-librarian, and I am dedicated to sharing diverse books with my students to help them see themselves in literature and to help them see the world they live in.
