My family is a mixed race family in a small town. Read in Color is very close to us. We live in a city where the first discovery of the residential school Graves were found. We are passionate about educating out community on diversity and understanding all cultures.
To expose my kids to the importance of all voices in our community.
In support of our surrounding Indigenous communities, we pledge to read in color.
Must be done now and forever!
I believe that all children deserve to be represented in every book, in every lesson, all the time. Children should feel love, respected, admired and wanted.
