Looking for a list of diverse books? You’re in the right spot! Little Free Library’s Diverse Books Advisory Group and others put together lists of multicultural and inclusive books for all age levels—think of the lists below like a diverse book finder! Each list contains recommendations for all age levels. Whether you’re trying to find diverse books for kids, teens, or adults, you’ll find options below. These recommended reading lists are part of our Read in Color® diverse books program. Have you taken the Read in Color pledge yet?
We look forward to adding more books and categories in the future. For additional sites that highlight diverse books, check out this excellent resource list from our friends at We Need Diverse Books™.
