9174 pledges
and counting...
We should encourage the education of all regarding, race, gender, disabilities and all differences, to understand what others are living ,and to not make the same mistakes that have been and are happening.
Stories open hearts 💕, books build bridges 🌉, & words give voice to every truth 🗣. Every reader deserves to see themselves on the pages of their favorite books… 📖
Our mission is to empower children and inspire a lifelong love of learning.
I’m taking the pledge to ensure every child who visits my Little Free Library finds books that reflect diverse voices and experiences. I believe that through reading, children learn empathy, kindness, and respect. Representation matters, and I want every reader to feel seen, valued, and inspired to embrace differences.
Diversity makes the world great!
Representation means every child is worthy and matters to the world. Historic accuracy and truth also gives children pride; dignity that their stories are significant and that we adults/our communities care enough to share it, validate it and honor it.
