I totally support this effort and will seek out appropriate books to include.
I pledge because everyone deserves to be seen, represented, and respected.
As a retired school librarian, I can attest to the importance of children seeing themselves in the pages of a book.
Everyone welcomes the opportunity to be able to see themselves in the books they read as well as learn, grow and embrace one another.
