Windows and Mirrors: Diverse Stories for Diverse Students
Funded Aug 10, 2020
Thank you so much for your generosity! My students and I will enjoy reading these books all year. Because of you, we will share important stories about women and men who are often relegated to the sidelines of society.
I'm touched that I know many of you personally. I have the best friends!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Pancake

My students not only want to read books with characters who look like they do, but are also written by authors of color. We need more diverse books on our shelves! Representation is important, and there are many new pictures and young adult books that are available for my students. We need to have greater access to these books and authors and bring them into our classroom. With the books I am requesting, I'll be able to share diverse stories through our daily read aloud and also place diverse books into my students' hands. These books include characters who have experiences from diverse cultures, backgrounds, families, and disabilities. Community is built in the shared experiences and conversations we have about the books we read. Thanks so much for considering this project!
