Books to Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Our Reach Out and Read San Diego program is working with FirstBook to bring affordable, diverse, and inclusive books to everyone and to reduce barriers to equitable education. We often discuss how books act as mirrors to our own lives and windows into the lives of others, which is why it’s important to offer diverse and inclusive books.
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we’ve rounded up a list of children’s books to celebrate and acknowledge Dr. King today and every day!
