We Need Diverse Books Ensures Every Child is Represented
from Disability Talks: Don't Dis My Ability · host Abilities in Motion
Every child should see themselves in the books they read. When a child can identify themselves just like the characters in their books, they become better readers. Representation is vital to everyone and young readers are hungry to see themselves in books. That’s why We need Diverse Books works with young Authors and Illustrators to develop books that include topics from different races, religions, the LGTBQ, and disability communities. We Need Diverse Books offers scholarships and pairs young artists with established artists to guide them through the process. Listen in to learn more.
