Representation Matters: Celebrating Diversity in Children’s Books

Series: Friday Night Family Fun

When children see characters in books who look like them or come from similar backgrounds, they feel seen and heard. Join the Kid Corner staff and members of UMKC’s Pride Alliance for mini-storytimes with some of our favorite picture books celebrating diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, and ability.

Recommended for ages 3 and up.

We never know if March will come in like a lion and go out like a lamb or the other way around. Amid this unpredictability, learn about how rain clouds are made, how tornadoes spin, and how to forecast the weather by observing cloud formations. Also, experiment with painting ice, since winter may not be done with us yet! Recommended for ages 3 and up.
