A world of possibilities

Welcome to our Inclusion Resources page. Here, we offer a curated collection of resources to encourage growth and development through inclusive literature. Our aim is to provide valuable tools for fostering understanding and self-discovery in children and young adults. We hope to encourage children to read and help provide information in this time where literature is being removed from curriculums.

Something for every age

We provide books suitable for a wide range of ages, from children aged 3 to 13, and young adults aged 8 to 18+. Our selection is designed to meet the diverse needs and developmental stages of young readers, ensuring that every child and young adult can find something that resonates with them.

Encouraging children to read

Our primary goal is to encourage children to read and foster a love for literature. With the increasing removal of literature from school curriculums, it’s more important than ever to provide accessible and inclusive reading materials. We aim to be a source of information for parents, educators, and caregivers looking to supplement children's education and promote a broader understanding of the world.

Beyond books: websites, articles and organizations

In addition to our book recommendations, we also offer a variety of other resources, including websites, articles, and organizations dedicated to promoting inclusion and self-discovery. These resources are valuable tools for expanding knowledge, gaining new perspectives, and connecting with communities that support these values.

Between 1865 and 1915, more than 1200 Black settlements, enclaves, and towns were established in the United States, including 500 settlements with the physical elements and cultural institutions in a town format, and 50 to 60 Black towns legally incorporated in 19 states.

The first migration of African Americans after the Civil War took place when thousands of freed enslaved people left their former masters for freedom and autonomy. These All-Black towns, aka “Freedom Towns,” were municipalities established by or for a predominantly African American populace. Many of these municipalities were established or populated by freed formerly enslaved people either during or after the period of legal slavery in the United States in the 19th century. Some are still populated today.
