For creating books with mirrors, windows and sliding doors!
Every child deserves the opportunity to have a book in hand to read!
All deserve to read about all.
I am encouraging reading to students. Having diverse books available gives students rich, interesting, and thought provoking stories. Opening minds and hearts with reading.
All kids (and adults) should be able to see themselves in books. We need to make this a priority!
I want to be a lifelong learner.
Our world is diverse and beautiful and the books we read should reflect that diversity. Representation matters, children should see characters that reflect them and their families in the books they read.
