Did you see the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign launched at the beginning of the month? Authors and Book People across the U.S. have ignited a fierce social media movement to show that readers want stories with a greater range of perspectives, experiences, and faces.

At RIF, we’ve been working to bring high-quality diverse books to children since 2007 with our Multicultural Book Collection, and it’s amazing to see so many people rally behind a cause that we know is important. Books are powerful windows and mirrors for us all, and can inspire children to dream bigger and climb higher.

Check out some of our favorite tweets below, and add your voice to the movement.
