These books will help my students see books that represent them. Students can engage more when they see characters that look like them. Most of my students are impacted on an economical level. The books that we read generally have characters that do not represent them or their culture. My goal is to get my students to find some sort of familiarity with the characters that they read about. If I can have my classroom library stocked out with books that students feel familiar with, then I can get them to enjoy reading much more.
