Portrait/Logo

Our children are gorgeously diverse and they love a good read.

Here, I feature authors and illustrators that are building a new diverse canon, book by dazzling book.

Some of my favorite themes include: children of color, LGBTQ, adoption, special needs, math, and science. There is also a mishmash of miscellany and reblogged tidbits that strike my fancy as they float by.
