There can't only be books with white main characters it has to be more diverse to help different kids relate to the characters to set a foundation to help them find their own identities. ]]> 2021-10-21 16:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834151265 https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834153083 That there are fewer people of color who write stories and fewer stories in general about people of color, though that has changed in recent years]]> 2021-10-21 16:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834153083 https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834154050 The amount of books published by people of color don't nearly come close to the amount of books published yearly.]]> 2021-10-21 16:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834154050 https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834154448 Its important for children to see themselves in books because it shows them what they can do. Also its important for people to see people from other backgrounds in books they read so that they can develop an open mind at a young age. I think books can give child more complex imaginations and can boost their confidence. However if they don't see anyone similar to them they can feel discouraged. ]]> 2021-10-21 16:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834154448 https://padlet.com/miranda_e_mclain/vrfx87tlubdwuc6g/wish/1834154656 Kids need to see people who look like them and dont look like them in books because they should be familiar and relate.
