Over the past ten years, discussions about the value of diversity in children`s books have become more popular. Books can be a potent teaching aid for concepts like equity and empathy, according to experts and educators. The world is diverse; there are individuals leading different lives everywhere, even in the same neighbourhood or classroom, so we need children`s books about diversity.
Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and accepted for who they are, as well as to be reflected in the books that are made available to them. This includes encouraging kindness and inclusivity, honouring diverse cultures, appreciating the beauty in shared experiences, and encouraging genuine self-expression. For children to know that they are not alone in their experiences, it is a blessing that more and more writers are writing inclusive books. In honour of International Women`s Day we look at female writers of children`s books from all over the nation. In their works, they argue that differences should be embraced rather than despised or mocked.
