Description
If you think back to your favorite books from your childhood, which titles come to
/="/">mind? Why did those particular books resonate so deeply with you? For many young
/="/">readers, being able to see themselves reflected in the main characters strikes a deep
/="/">chord. Reading books with representations of students’ own cultures can contribute
/="/">to self-worth within children, while allowing them to connect with themselves and
/="/">their culture on a deeper level. I launched the Black Book Project to address the lack of
/="/">cultural representation in children’s literature.
