Many of my students have never been able to make a personal connection with a book. One student told me that he'd never seen a mixed person in a book and that he didn't believe that anyone had ever written about people like him. Another student said she had never read a book with a black female as the main character unless the person was a slave or a civil rights activist, no one just doing everyday things in a book. I want my students to not only see themselves in the books they read; but also see characters that are experiencing triumphs and problems similar to their own. Everyone deserves to look into a book and see their own reflection.
