The books teachers use in the classroom give the students the opportunity to be exposed to diverse stories that reflect different perspectives (Flores, et. al). When students are afforded the opportunity to learn and engage in different activities centered around diversity using rich texts and supplies, it sends a powerful message that each student is represented and valued and promotes a pedagogy of care rooted in empathy.
