My Project

I love the diversity of my school! To celebrate the different cultures we have present in our classroom, I'd love to update our picture book library with some more diverse books so that I can ensure that all cultures are represented in our room.

It is important that children see themselves in the books they read and updating my classroom library will help them see themselves in more of our classroom books.

Diversity is beautiful and it should be celebrated in all schools! Thank you for considering supporting my project.
