Planting People Growing Justice Leadership Institute

Through the power of relatable characters and positive messaging, we engage young readers, unveil potential and cultivate future leaders. We publish, share and distribute multicultural books to create mirrors and windows that are transformative for children. Mirrors that enable young people of color to see a reflection of themselves, imagine new possibilities and develop a passion for reading. Windows that enable all children to see each other more clearly and embrace their cultural differences. In the words of our founder, Dr. Artika Tyner, “Diverse Books open up those windows of infinite possibilities for children---to see the world, their future careers, and discover the leader within.”
