"Those kids who are hungry for books aren't always going to be straight, able-bodied, white males. And they want books that reflect that. Just as we need black students graduating top of their class at Harvard and brilliant female astronauts as our role models, so do we need our diverse literary heroes to remind us that the world is a playground for all, no matter who you are."
~~Jacob Hood
Approach selection through a diversity/equity lens. Think of literature as "windows", "mirrors", "bridges", "sliding glass doors" and much more for your school community.
