25 Diverse Children’s Books to Add to Your Library Now
One of the most meaningful ways we can start to create change surrounding racism, equality, and inclusion is by opening up the conversation with our children at home. We can curate libraries with diverse kids books, introduce more babies of color into our toy collections, ask the hard questions, and even more importantly, listen to what our children have observed on their own.
Below we have put together a few of our favorite children’s book titles featuring main characters of color, celebrating diversity, teaching about the history of racism, civil rights leaders, and equality in our country— and we invite you to pick up a few with your Minis right now!
