CBS This Morning's interview with Marley Dias

At Springfield Public Schools, we know our strength is in our diversity. But we can’t have diversity if everyone is the same! Marley Dias wanted to read more books with characters who looked like her, but she rarely got to see any until she launched her project to find more books.

Reflection questions:

How do you think Marley felt reading books with no characters who were girls, wore braids or had her skin tone?

Do you have a favorite book where a character looks like you?

Do you have a favorite book where a character doesn’t look like you?

If you don’t know a book with a character that looks like you, that’s okay - maybe it means that this summer you get to write and illustrate that book yourself!
