I want my students to be able to see the beauty and positive aspect of our vast cultural diversity through picture books that highlight cultural differences and kindness. Building an inclusive, diverse and empathetic classroom library is critical to developing young minds. With the realities of how COVID is affecting our classrooms, having additional books for the kids to enjoy is vital since books need to be 'quarantined' after they are read. I plan to instill a love of reading in my students, and this begins with putting a variety of quality literature in their hands.
