Diversity In Childrens Books: Not as Common as You’d Think

 


Have you seen this charming illustration by our friend Tina Kugler about some alarming statistics?
 
I’m shocked, truly shocked by the statistics about diversity in children’s books. 

 
 
Fortunately I can say that we here at Jump into a Book love diversity and consider ourselves “global citizens”.  Let’s celebrate diversity shall we ?
