Listen "Diversity in Children's Literature"
Episode Synopsis
Books serve as mirrors to children, providing reflections of themselves, as well as windows to let them see others. We know that a broad, diverse range of depictions helps children see that from a young age, and we also know that the range of diversity in children's books is nowhere near as rich as it could be. Dr. Monique Jindal, an internal medicine and pediatrics physician at Johns Hopkins, and Meg Medina, author of the Newbery Medal–winning book Merci Suárez Changes Gears, join us to talk about the importance of diversity in children's literature and lives.
