#Ownvoices: Picture books celebrating diverse stories.
#OWNVOICES books are written by authors who share a marginalized identity with characters that they're writing about; across race, ethnicity Indigenous Nations, language, gender, sexuality, ability-impairment, class, religion, etc. This emerging movement in Children's Lit encourages more authentic cultural representation in the publishing world and empowerment of diverse authors, diverse stories! This list includes a sample of books available at FSJPL, and will be expanded over time. For a list featuring specifically Indigenous stories and authors, look here!
