My Project

This project is aimed to help students gain the ability to read about characters in stories that represent them! These books will allow them to finally have a main character that looks like them and represents their culture.

It is important for students to see themselves reflected in literature, as it can greatly impact their self-esteem and sense of belonging.

By providing books with diverse main characters, we are promoting inclusivity and representation in storytelling. This project will not only empower students, but also encourage a more inclusive and diverse literary landscape. Through these books, students will be able to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for their own culture and the cultures of others.
