- When students don't see representation within books, it makes them feel as though they are invisible and unimportant, which greatly affects their self-esteem.

- Subconscious messaging in books affects stereotyping of many whether that be related to race, class, gender, etc.

Examples of tokenism include books with only one African American child among many white children or having only one book about children with disabilities among many other books” 
- Having one character in a book that looks different from the rest is not accurately depicting diversity, it is depicting exclusivity and otherness 
- In addition to specific books, also examine your book collection. Do your books reinforce or counteract messages that teach children to feel inferior or superior because of their skin color, gender, family income, able-bodiedness, or type of family structure? At school, will all of the children you serve see themselves and their family’s way of life reflected in your book collection?
