As a child of a single mom, who worked in the migrant field we couldn’t afford books.. now, as a nonprofit school owner, I pledge to talk about, provide and read books that are diverse and inclusive. All children have a right to own books and see themselves in them.
Reading becomes even more enjoyable when you can see yourself reflected in the story.
I live in a diverse neighborhood with a lot of foot traffic.
Our community is growing and we’re honored to make space for representation. You belong here and deserve to be seen and celebrated.
We truly believe that Together, We Will ImpactHumanity by expanding the opportunity for communities to Read In Color!
I feel like no matter what color anyone is it shouldn’t matter whether you read their book or not
