I think it’s important.
I would love to share this with the friends that come to my library, they are so appreciative and this will be a another plus for our community.
I believe that we should all be able to see and experience reflections of ourselves within the books we read no matter how we identify.
As an author with a multi-cultural series, I have long felt it’s important for children of all backgrounds to see themselves in literature.
Literature and stories have the power to bring people together! ❤️
Reading is an escape into another person’s mind, which helps us imagine walking in their shoes.
Reading is so very important to our growth.
