In line with my Diversity Monday posts this year, I wanted to let my readers know of Diversity in YA’s 2015 Anniversary Giveaway. They are giving away 100 books with main characters who are of color, LGBT, and/or disabled. Click here to see all these books and enter their generous giveaway! 20 winners will be selected at random to receive prize packs of 5 books each. I am sorry but this is only available to US residents.
In my 20's, with only my guitar and a rucksack, I wandered the continents, immersing myself in the lives of some wonderful people, projects and stories, which changed the way I view my responsibility to others and this earth. Right now I'm a European transplant in the US who writes books for children and young adults that offer readers mirrors and windows. Stories can help us not only navigate our world but also can connect us to others, and allow us to inspire and help each other. I believe that equity and empathy should be at the core of our actions and words.
I am also a school librarian and I get a kick out of book-matchmaking!
Thanks for sharing such a great list of books on diversity. Added some of them to my wish list.
