Access to Inclusive Books
Increase Availability of Books that Honor and Represent Children's Racial Identities
Children are more likely to become engaged readers if they have access to books featuring characters who look like them. Providing books featuring Black characters, written by Black authors, Turn the Page KC works with schools and community groups to strategically stock school, home, and church libraries with thousands of inclusive books. This year alone, we distributed more than 25,000 new, inclusive books to Kansas City Public Schools, Hickman Mills, and charter schools.
