#ProudParent, #giveaway I'm a proud friend and aunt who started a nonprofit in southern Arizona to give teacher-selected books to classrooms because every child should see themselves in books in their classroom.

“My Name Is Not Easy” by Debby Dahl Edwardson. A young Iñupiaq boy notices how his cultural identity impacts his school life.

“Nikki & Deja” by Karen English. Nikki and Deja do everything together, and life is good. But a new girl in school somehow causes a rift between them. A story about friendship, fun and school clubs! *test repost*

“A Gift from Abuela” by Cecilia Ruiz. A beautiful story about the bond between Nina and her grandmother – her Abuela. Abuela works hard all her life to give Nina a special gift. Her journey is rife with challenges, and we learn what a gift really means.

Because every child deserves to see themselves in books in their classrooms. (4/4)

These books depict children from beautifully diverse backgrounds, and tell us tales of courage, kindness and joy. Starting today, we would like to share some of the stories from these books with you. (3/4)

We believe that Arizona public school classroom libraries should reflect the diversity of the students that use them. Our team of volunteers has thoughtfully curated high quality books from very small to large presses that are appropriate for the kids here. (2/4)
