I’ve long believed kids who read diverse books develop empathy and understanding and seeing themselves represented in books is important.
I vow to read in color so that my daughter grows up reading about characters that look like me and her. So that everyone that comes to our library feels welcome.
everyone deserves to see themselves and their life experiences in books. books give us hope, role models and aspirations.
Because it is important
Because it’s important to be inclusive!
As a 25+year Florida resident, I will fight the ignorance and fear in our government that has led to policies based in bigotry and hate. No book promoting understanding and education about marginalized people and communities should ever be banned anywhere in this nation that prides itself in enduring freedom.
everyone deserves to be represented–color YOUR world!!!
