10 Children’s Books that Promote Diversity

As a parent, it’s critical that I raise my children to be kind to themselves and to others. A great way for them to learn about being kind to people is by reading books that talk about diversity, cultures, and people’s differences. These books can teach children to celebrate everyone’s differences and to understand that we are all human beings that should be treated with kindness. It’s also a great way to start these important conversations with your family!
