Fakequity

Fakequity created these curated lists of books. We sometimes refer to books on our blog and many of these books have informed our thinking over the years. The majority of the books listed are by authors of color or about disabilities.

 

Profits from Bookshop, will be used to purchase books for public schools with high rates of students living with poverty to help diversify their libraries and expose students to new books -- who doesn't love the feel of a new book.
