In the last few months we’ve made a point of diversifying the books we read with the bug. Are you doing this too?
We’re focusing on diversity of authors and main characters, bringing in more Own Voices, and relying on the recommendations of those who know more than we do.
Some lists and resources we have been relying on:
- Children’s Books that discuss race and racism: a thread by Brittany Smith aka @wanderingbritt_
- 13 Children’s Books About Race and Diversity from PBS
- These Books Can Help You Explain Racism and Protest to Your Kids from the New York Times (fully appreciating my free subscription through work)
- Looking for Excellent “Diverse” Books for Children? Start Here! From Embrace Race
- Diverse Book Finder
