We are a family of color. Diversity in literature is important to us!
I am a school librarian and I think all people should see themselves represented in books.
Inclusion for us all, please be kind to each other.
I believe we’re all white people and we need to Celebrate diversity.
I not only read in color, I write in color and am looking to publish a children’s book featuring a Little Free Library!
Children’s books should reflect the full diversity and lived experience so that all children can both see themselves and expand their worldview by learning about others.
Reading is LIFE!
Because we all need to see ourselves.
