Rhythm & Rhymes


Are diverse books important?

Yes. Every story matters. We need to see stories we relate to.

Aja A.

Yes, representation matters. Especially when reading. It provides something relatable at a young age that they catch onto and retain.

Camille A.

Yes. It increases a child’s language skills and comprehension and gives them opportunities to read and learn about different cultures and people.
