Diversity is strength
I believe it I’d important that all children are given the opportunity be able to see themselves depicted in the books they read no matter what their race, creed, color or sexual origin. Love is ❤️
Because I want racism to end with grandparents. I want my daughter to grow up loving everyone regardless.. don’t judge a book by its cover.And don’t assume your life is the only perspective there is.. if you change the way you look at things the things you look at change
I think everyone should be able to read about people they can identify with. If not themselves, than possibly people they know.
To encourage a host of readers to find representation in illustrations to get excited about wanting to have books and to read them.
This country is not composed only of white, straight, Christian men. We are diverse and all peoples shall be celebrated!
If we want to live in a world of love, then we must understand that diversity is the key. <3
Cause it matters!
