I believe that our children need the diversity found in these high quality books.
I want to learn more about different people and pave way for a more inclusive future
Our Girl Scout Troop wants our community to feel welcome when they visit our Little Library. We love to read and share books about all kinds of people and places.
To bring diversity to our growing community.
Reading diverse books is very important for our kids!
We have raised our family in a diverse environment, as our family is diverse. Our family has been, and continues to be, blessed beyond words by the interesting and genuinely kind people no matter what race, orientation or socio-economic, etc. We surround ourselves with kind people always and foremost.
Reading develops empathy! Reading diverse books is essential for finding common ground and connecting with people who may seem different – but who are just like you!
