Books About Diversity
Many are the good books that address diversity and social justice. We’ve listed some here that seem especially useful at this time, but know that we have many other books in many other genres that are relevant. These include historical fiction and nonfiction, biographies, picture books about kindness and empathy, and more. This list focuses on books for children and young adults, but we have selections for adults, too.
Some of these books are in stock; some are on order. Booksellers, publishers and distributors are working hard to fulfill orders at a time when demand is high, so your patience is appreciated.
