Books help us to discover who we are and can become. Diverse role models help us to understand ourselves and others.
Spread love through education
Now, more than ever, people need to hear diverse voices.
I value all voices.
Awareness is so important, and books are one of the best ways to receive that awareness. Let’s educate ourselves, and be united together!
As a teacher of young children, I believe all children should have the opportunity to read books that are about kids that look just like them. Reading is the greatest gift we can give our youngest learners! Thank you Little Free Library and Colle McVoy! Let’s all READ IN COLOR!
We are a mixed ethnic family and realize the importance of kids of color seeing themselves in books!
