Our Mission Putting more books featuring diverse characters into the hands of
all children. Our Vision A world in which all children can see themselves in the
pages of a book. Our Definition of Diversity We recognize all diverse
experiences, including (but not limited to) LGBTQIA, Native, people of color,
gender diversity, people with disabilities*, and ethnic, cultural, and religious
minorities. *We subscribe to a broad definition of disability, which includes
but is not limited to physical, sensory, cognitive, intellectual, or
developmental disabilities, chronic conditions, and mental illnesses (this may
also include addiction). Furthermore, we subscribe to a social model of
disability, which presents disability as created by barriers in the social
environment, due to lack of equal access, stereotyping, and other forms of
marginalization. Campaign Pic Christine Ayers_Linderman Fourth Grade_Polson
