I am on the board of a community garden for Senior Citizens in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Our garden was gifted two Little Libraries from a local high school, Harborside Academy. Recently, our community experienced civil unrest and I believe that having diverse books for children can help heal our community.
There is strength in diversity. Everyone needs to see a character in a book that they can truly identify with.
We have to recognize all persons and their contributions to make this world a better place in order to make this world a better place.
All people matter.
