Now more than ever, a message of hope, compassion, empathy, and understanding is needed.

Now more than ever, children need to see themselves reflected in the pages of the books they read. Readers of all ages need to be able to “read their world” to both see themselves, and those are who different, whether by culture, religion, sexual orientation, special needs or ethnicity.

Now more than ever, we need to come together as a nation of beautifully diverse people.

    Hi, My emails are not going through, so I will try here.
    I have left the following on FaI am honored to review for Multicultural Children’s Book Day #ReadYourWorld GOD’S DREAM by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Douglas Carlton Abrams, illustrated by LeUyen Pham. I received a review copy form LeUyen Pham.

    This is a lovely book for children about getting along with different races and faiths. I love the illustrations from the fabrics on the endpieces to the children of all races to that wonderful rainbow of hands at the end!cebook as my review.

Help us get diverse Kidlit into schools!
