More Books for Children. It is important that children see diversity in the images and stories they see, even from a young age! It's also important that all books with people of color aren't necessarily about that person being a person of color. The goal is to normalize the beauty of diversity! When God Made You is a great example! Books by Ezra Jack Keats are classic and beautiful as well! Click Here: List of 30 Books
Book List for Adults. 1. Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation 2. Eight Books on Race for Adults

Toys. Diversifying your child's toy box is a great way to introduce cultures of all kinds! If your child has a favorite doll or superhero, look for another one in a different ethnicity! Disney characters such as Moana, Tiana, and Mulan are great additions!
