It’s important to share diversity in thought and experiences with others. I believe we have a duty to provide sharing opportunities with others and books are a great way to do this. Books provide knowledge and hope.
Because it’s a part of me
I have mixed race family and I love reading books with diverse characters
Ollie and I (McKenna) both know the importance of a good book, a new perspective, and a place to feel safe. Our hope is to provide all of those things and dream of a world where there is literacy and justice for all!
We hope to share books that represent ourselves and to share those books with others. We also hope to read books that represent people who are different from ourselves, so that we may learn and grow.
