As you infuse diverse, inclusive, and culturally relevant materials into fiction and nonfiction reading experiences, this toolkit helps analyze collections, identify and bring to life diverse texts, and encourage reflection on cultural representation.

• Identify exceptional diverse books for all children and teens
• Bring culture and race to the forefront of literary conversations with culturally relevant, primary source materials
• Facilitate conversations about children's and young adult books by learning the inspiration of these books, directly from the author or illustrator
• Analyze and generate reports that examine the genre and cultural inclusion of books in your custom lists and collections
• Facilitate student reflection on the cultural representation of the characters, setting, and events in the diverse books each student reads
