Culturally responsive books are essential in building a sense of belonging in our school and classrooms. Students being able to see themselves in a book like a mirror allows students to ask deeper questions, build confidence in their authentic selves, and continue to feel as though they aren't any different than those around them. That they are celebrated for who they are, what they look like, what they believe, no matter what that is. These books also allow as a window for students who are different than themselves. To gain new knowledge and perspectives. By donating to this project you are helping all students gain a deeper knowledge of those around them as well as be proud of who they are and where they come from.
