Teaching for Change: Resources for Anti-Bias Children’s Books
It is important to offer young children a range of books about people like them and their family — as well as about people who are different from them and their family. All of the books should be accurate and appealing to young children. The number of children of color in the United States continues to rise, but the number of books published by or about people of color stays the same or even decreases.
Learn more on how to choose anti-bias children’s books here.
