We Need Diverse Books

Books can provide a window of understanding into the mind of another, or they can provide a mirror of our own experiences when we feel alone.

“We recognize all diverse experiences, including (but not limited to) LGBTQIA, people of color, gender diversity, people with disabilities, and ethnic, cultural, and religious minorities.” - We Need Diverse Books

"When books reflect back to us our own experiences, when scenes and sentences strike us as so true they are anchors mooring us to the text, it tells readers their lives and experiences are valued." - Sara Ackerman, The New York Times
