Reading is a joy that should be enjoyed by ALL colors of the world!!!
We are all better when we can learn about the world around us and the people that make up that world. Our differences make us stronger.
I love diverse books and I love reading them and adding them to free libraries around my neighborhood
it’s so important to introduce young children (and adults) to diverse communities and individuals. It helps to break down the -isms and develop empathy.
Reading should never have limitations. We should all be given the opportunity to read books from all background and origins.
