We Need Diverse Books
Are you following the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign? See the WeNeedDiverseBooks Tumblr page about the campaign and scroll through all the reasons why we need diverse books.
My added comments to all the many wonderful reasons listed on the campaign Tumblr are that we need diverse books because ethnicity does not always match cultural identity and we need books to reflect that reality. We need books set in Asia and other parts of the world underrepresented in English-language children's and young adult literature. We need many more children's books in translation, and we need books featuring intercultural, bilingual, border-crossing kids and teens reflecting the world we live in today.
Check out the Tumblr. Join the campaign for more diverse books published every year.
