The need for diverse children and young adult books is needed more today than ever before. "The absence of human, cultural, linguistic, and family diversity in children's and young adult literature attests to the growing disparity and inequity in the publishing history in the United States " (NCTE 2015). There is so much unrest in our culture regarding race inequity; students need to see how to handle situations they may encounter.
Students need to understand the inequities regarding race, gender, and socioeconomic struggles in our world. Our school is predominately white and Native American. I want every one of my students to see themselves in the literature they read so they will feel more connected. When students see themselves in text, they can make better connections to their own learning.
