Diverse BookFinder
We collect literature for children and young adults featuring Black and Indigenous people and People of Color (BIPOC) and research who is included -- and how -- to spark conversation and change. We aspire to be a go-to resource for librarians, educators, parents, book creators, and publishers who seek to create collections in which all children can see themselves -- and each other -- reflected in the books they read.
Our Mission:
- To inform the diverse books movement by providing data and translating research so that it is accessible and useful.
- To move the diverse books discussion beyond a focus on increasing the number of books to a deeper consideration of how Black and Indigenous people and People of Color (BIPOC) are represented within diverse books.
- To identify dominant trends in representations of BIPOC by exploring who (which racial/cultural groups) is represented in current diverse books and how (what messages are being sent).
