They are also windows into someone else’s lived exper ience. In recent years\, children’s literature has become more diverse a nd reflective of different races\, religions\, family structures and disab ilities. It is so important that children have books in their library that reflect them! Share with friends and family and help us build the librari es of the children served by Next Door!
