As first and second generation immigrants my parents celebrate diversity, and appreciate that I see examples of all types of families and ethnic backgrounds being represented equally and respectfully
It is important that readers see both themselves and a diversity of “other” in the books they read.
I feel it’s important to know all of our histories and stories.
