“It is essential that all people have the opportunity to see themselves represented with dignity and humanity in the books that we share. This promotes the growth of wellbeing, understanding, and acceptance in our world.”

Everyone deserves characters that they can relate to.
I believe in humanity and inclusiveness. I want to make everyone feel welcome at my Little Free Library. Access to diverse reading material is extremely important.
Because we all are important and not one person on this earth is less important as the next. Humans are every color of the rainbow and that is what makes life interesting! And our children need to learn it.
Nothing inspires like reading about people who look like ourselves and who have shared our experiences. We Read in Color so that all members of our community will be inspired to read, and gain the most from the reading they do.
I pledge and stand with marginalized communities, I do, however, want to learn more so I see opportunity in understanding and spreading awareness and making people feel equal and equally not afraid to make the best decisions for themselves. The opportunity is boundless and the help is present and present.
Literacy is Freedom
