Have you ever read a book about a magical talking animal, and made a direct connection to your own life? Me neither. I have read about human characters like me, though, children with families like mine, struggles like mine, overcoming challenges and persevering. Everyone needs that book.
Every student deserves to be the main character. With the books I've chosen, my students will see themselves. Children learn empathy through stories. They see themselves represented overcoming challenges, and they see others doing the same. They learn acceptance and kindness, and they find power in themselves. We need these books.
