About me

Introduction	Are you like us? When you were growing up did you wish that there were book characters who looked like you? Did you wish you looked like Laura Ingalls or Harry Potter? Did you wonder why the characters who looked like you were only a stereotype? Or are you a teen or adult yearning to read books with characters that reflect yourself and your own cultural identity? Perhaps you are a parent who wants your children to read books with characters that they can relate to in an organic way, so they can grow up feeling "normal." Greetings friend, you've come to the right place. Reflection Reads is a blog dedicated to promoting diverse literature and providing book recommendations for racially diverse readers. Our goal is to create a space where readers of all backgrounds can find books with characters that look like themselves and stories that resonate with their experiences.
