1 " Seek diverse authors, not just diverse books.If you want to truly decolonize your library seek more than a Black/Brown face on the cover of the book. "
― Angela Shanté , The Noisy Classroom
2 " Kids are resilient. They understand way (WAY) more than adults give them credit for, and they pick up on unspoken cues when things aren’t explicitly expressed to them. "
3 " Kids are little people. Little people who are coming to you because you are a safe-space for them. Don’t ruin the relationship of trust by lying to them. "
4 " Change is hard for anyone at any age. Children in particular are still learning theirworlds and developing their identities in it. These challenging conversationscan lead to a positive experience or be a detrimental one for the youngsters inyour charge "
