Local authors leading campaign for more diverse children’s books
Quick, check your kids’ bookshelf: How many characters look just like them?
“Boosting the [diversity] numbers is a multifaceted effort that requires buy-in from
not just authors, but also editors, booksellers, librarians and parents,
those involved say. In Austin, that’s led to projects like the Modern
First Library, a collection of titles designed as fresh alternatives to
tried-and-true classics, says Austin author Chris Barton.“
