FCPL's July Reading Challenge is to "Read a Book By or About Someone with a Different Background from Your Own".
The Read Your World challenges include a diverse range of characters! Reading diverse books allows readers of all ages to see themselves in a story. Diverse books also help children learn about different cultures and backgrounds by being a window into the lives of other people.
Here are some diverse books from our Easy and Early Reader collections to get you started!
