We Need Diverse Books is launching the inaugural We Need Diverse Books Day on Thursday, April 3, "to highlight the importance of reading books that reflect the beautifully diverse world."
WNDB will be recommending titles for all ages, sharing resources on where to find them, and encouraging everyone to read a diverse book. To celebrate We Need Diverse Books Day and 10 years of the nonprofit, WNDB said it is donating 10,000 titles in 2025 to schools and libraries across the country.
"We invite you to pick out and read a diverse book today--because diverse books are for everyone and these stories ought to be shared and celebrated," said WNDB board chair and author Dhonielle Clayton.
