My Project

As an educator in a District 75 classroom, I strive to create an inclusive learning environment where every student sees themselves reflected in the stories we read. My cart is filled with books that showcase diverse characters, cultures, and experiences, books where my students can find heroes, families, and adventures that look like their own.

Representation in literature is powerful.

It leads to confidence, builds empathy, and helps students develop a love for reading. Many of my students have never had access to books where they truly feel seen, and I want to change that.

With your support, I can provide my students with engaging, meaningful literature that mirrors their identities and broadens their understanding of the world. Every book you help fund is a step toward making reading a more personal, inspiring, and transformative experience for them.

Thank you for believing in the power of diverse books and for helping my students find their stories on the pages!
