Books by Diverse Authors:
Diana T, age 13, PittsburgWhy Diana made this website...
"I wanted to make a website where people could find books with characters that related to them. Only reading books with cis/het white characters can be diminishing for POC youth. Reading books with characters that are like you can make you feel actually immersed in the book. Unfortunately, I only included a small percentage of the POC community to keep the list short. POC youth face a lot of discrimination and often need a form of escapism. I hope that these recommendations can help others as they helped me."
