UPCOMING EVENTS

The Authors Hour


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.

Latasha B.
