As children's book author Justin Steven Ford explains, " Diverse representations in children's literature are important not only because children are empowered by seeing themselves in books, but also because children's worldviews are expanded by seeing people who are different from themselves represented in books. Representation can be incredibly inspirational. It enables children to envision possibilities for their own lives that previously seemed impossible. In this way, books and stories can make an enormous difference in dispelling stereotypes and prejudice and building community."
