Findings
Over the course of our learning and grantmaking, we've come across extraordinary research, quotes, images, articles, and insights by people and organizations all over the world. This is a collection of inspirational resources that drive our work.
“When children cannot find themselves reflected in the books they read, or when the images they see are distorted, negative, or laughable, they learn a powerful lesson about how they are devalued in the society of which they are a part.” Children are affected by what they see around them, and it helps them to grow.
We Need Diverse Books
"Stories - whether through books, TV/film, people we know, or other sources - are powerful for learning and understanding. They are like windows that open up into others’ lives, mirrors that allow us to see pieces of ourselves in others, and sliding doors that help us apply what we learn to everyday life."
