Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! (September 15-October 15)
"Reading is all about windows and mirrors! Just as it is so important to see ourselves in the stories we read, books allow us to get glimpses of life through windows into the way others live.
Exploring cultures, religions, and ways of life that differ from our own is a phenomenal and important way to foster empathy and combat bias" Lauren Bercuson (Happily Ever Elephants).
