Everyone deserves to see characters similar to themselves in books. Everyone benefits from reading about a wide variety of characters. Inclusion and representation help to foster positive identities and empathy. 📚🏳️🌈🤟
everyone deserves to know that they are loved, and who they are is amazing! we all are equal no matter the differences! 🏳️🌈
I’m both a parent and educator and it’s imperative that we embrace diversity as a necessity not as an afterthought. Diversity is a beautiful tenant and I include it in readings and conversations with my son every day.
Reading takes the reader anywhere the author writes about. Having a Little Free Library will allow others to travel without ever leaving home!
