There are so many incredible resources out there for where to find diverse books for kids. This list certainly isn’t exhaustive, but I hope it gives you some great options for where to look.
I’ve chosen to focus this list on diverse books Instagram accounts and monthly diverse book subscription boxes. I’ve also included a few blog and award resources, with links to other sources that provide even more options.
I hope these resources give you plenty of places to look for inclusive and representative children’s literature!
