My Project

The specific books that I am requesting for this project will go towards my classroom, in the hope that my students for years to come will feel strongly represented and understood in the school system. The United States is a very diverse country, and I am working on making sure that each student ingests their own representation in the books that we read throughout their school day.

Simply having characters that look, speak, or remind students of someone in their own culture, or seeing places in books that students are familiar with, will make a huge difference in my students' lives.

Please help me give my students books that are culturally diverse in a multitude of topics!
