We live in a diverse country, and that should be reflected in our classroom libraries as well. I want every child who enters my classroom to feel welcome and represented. Books allow us to enter into worlds unknown, open doors to countries we will never visit, and they teach us that there is more than just what it outside our windows. These books will provide students with a chance to grow their understanding of the world around them. "If we don’t give children books that are literary mirrors as well as windows to the whole world of possibility, if these books don’t give them the opportunity to see outside themselves, then how can we expect them to grow into adults who connect in meaningful ways to a global community, to people who might look or live differently than they. You cannot." - Kwame Alexander
