By updating and diversifying the books available to students and staff at the Snug Harbor Community School (PreK-5) it is my hope that students are more readily able to see people who look like them overcome obstacles, face challenges, and make a difference in the world. All students need to see kids just like themselves doing ordinary kid things like visiting the library, going to the pool, and playing in the backyard. Highly relatable books allow kids to identify with the characters, which not only validates children, but facilitates a deeper comprehension of the text because kids are making self connections.
