This week, we’re excited to share a carousel of some incredible children’s books that honor the experiences of immigrants and newcomers. These books open doors to understanding, empathy, and the power of diversity.

Check out our Diversity Library on our website- parentsfordiversity.com for a curated collection of stories that uplift every voice.

Truth. Then, Reconciliation. 

On this National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, Parents for Diversity bears witness to both the genocide of Inuit, First Nations, and Métis people through systematic and purposeful violence and to the resilience, the joy, the beauty, and the culture of Inuit, First Nations, and Métis people.

Our liberation is intertwined, and we will not stop until we all are free.
