I agree that there are few enough books available to children especially that do not follow the White heterosexual sterotype. I look forward to sharing some of my grandson’s books on female scientists and jurists, and LGBTQ people.
We have a beautifully diverse neighborhood of readers!
It’s important for readers to see themselves in books and have a look into the world of others.
Representation in books is vital to creating communities of acceptance, understanding, empathy, and knowledge.
to allow children to learn about history, diversity, and to be the change they wish to see in the world
Our Little Free Library will be placed within three miles of the JEB Little Creek / Military Housing in Virginia Beach and we are excited to share books for everyone!
