"Children need books that are mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors. Mirrors that allow them to see themselves and their own experiences. Windows that they can look through to see other worlds that they can compare to their own. Sliding glass doors that allow them to step into other worlds."
My students come from a variety of backgrounds and it is important to me that they feel represented in my classroom. The books that I have added to this project have diverse characters that will allow my students to feel valued and connected. Children need access to diverse books at an early age so that they can see the world as it is and make connections to the experiences of others.
