Matt de la Peña grew up without reading diverse books. In college he found diverse books and it changed how he felt about reading. Now, he writes books with diverse characters and he wants children and young adults to be able to find themselves in books.
Do you think we need diversity in the books we read?

I think that black and white people should have the same credit in books because blacks and whites are no different under their skin

I think is good to have diverse books because there is more then one race for a reason so they should use different races in books more often.

I think that diverse books are good for kids because it gets them to think that racism is bad so kids can learn that from diverse books especially when they are young.

I think Diverse books are very important because it gives those with differences to feel important but in all to know that it's ok to be themselves

I think that diverse books are important because so other races don't feel like they don't fit in.

A book that I have been reading is a book called The Perfect place . so far it is about a girl that is African American and her mom and dad don't talk about each other. In the begging of the story it talks about a little girl and she hasn't seen her dad in two mounths and a couple of days like 16 . She also talks about how her mom does not like her dad and it is the greates book i have ever read befor

I do think we need more diverse books because if everything is the same it is boring and you don't get to know about people who have different skin or culture.
