Love to share books that include children of all skin tones.
I’m taking the pledge because it’s important to my community. It’s about growth and sharing a love for all cultures. Making a world of universal love.
Understanding comes when we’re open minded enough to truly listen to each other’s stories. Diverse books provide one way to do just that.
For our children’s future
Because my grandbabies are biracial and I love them very much!!
I believe in diversity. It is the makeup of our country. It is a beautiful thing. Everyone should see themselves in books! I do not believe in book banning. It is just about fear. Fear of differences.
