Otterly Rad Podcast - Episode 9 - Diversity in Children's Books
Lauren from Better in Real Life joins us again and gets us talking about libraries, which is why the episode is longer than normal. We also talk about diversity in children's books, finding books that have better representation and that feature children who are not generic white kids, and how to talk to your local librarian/bookseller about carrying rad books for kids. Leave us a comment with your favorite diverse children's book!
