We’re All Connected – The web of life is a vast and beautiful thread that connects us to all living beings. Let’s play a fun game to see who we’re connected to and how they make our world a better place to be.
Each week we will offer book suggestions for all ages, books that celebrate diverse identities, resist stereotypes, and uplift social justice. Whether you choose to purchase the books, borrow them from a friend, or check them out from your local library, we hope you enjoy these stories featuring characters from a wide range of communities.
