Books Build Connections
Picture books offer a powerful tool for making sense of yourself and the world. They can be mirrors where readers can recognize their own experience, and windows where they can stretch their understanding of others. Unite books are mostly non-fiction, authentic reflections of everyday people, places, and things that give readers the connections they are looking for.
Children need to see themselves, their families, and their communities in the books they read. They need to hear the words read in their home language, as well. Books that families can relate to are more meaningful and memorable, and that means they will help grow the child’s lifelong love of reading.
