Diversity is the key to understanding
we are all equal and all should be represented
I would like to have all children have the opportunity to have diversity in their lives or reading.
I live in a very diverse community and want everyone to find something for them!
To be able to bring cultural awareness and a feeling of acceptance to one young reader would be enough. Plus the opportunity to share perspectives on diversity and inclusion with adult readers can only improve our neighborhood and the greater community we all share.
