Books that have characters that look like me

Melinda D'Angelone is our administrative intern and she is doing a 'Books that have characters that look like ME' project. She has a fabulous list of books that are very diverse and would be a great addition to our library. This is the link to the fundraiser for this initiative.
Any donation made on March 1 will be matched by the website.
This project is to get books into our school library that have main characters that look like the students we serve at our school.
Our school is extremely diverse and we need more books that have leading characters that our students can relate to. These books will help our kids connect to these characters that mirror their identities and can create such an impact by seeing characters that look like them who have faced challenges, overcome obstacles, and changed the world. This project will allow our students to not only see themselves but also learn about other cultures.
