We came across two excellent book lists recently. The Institute for Humane Education created an annotated list of 14 Children’s Picture Books Exploring Race and Racism. KQED’s Mind/Shift published 25 Books that Diversity Kids’ Reading Lists this Summer. As Mind/Shift reports, a Cooperative Children’s Book Center study found that in 2012, “…the total number of books about people of color—regardless of quality, regardless of accuracy or authenticity—was less than eight percent of the total number of titles we received.” NPR’s Code Switch reported in June on the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign at BookCon.
