Literature introduces people to worlds they have never set foot in, which is why it is so important for classroom libraries to be full of diverse stories that reflect students’ backgrounds and cultures. Students seeing themselves in the stories they read to foster a sense of belonging, recognition, and most of all, validation, is crucial—representation matters. Using literature helps to spark students’ interest when it is made personal and when it has a correlation to current events. I plan to use these books and create guiding questions that tie characters’ actions or story plots to what is happening in the world today.
