b'Diversity in children\'s literature allows young readers to see themselves reflected in the stories they read, fostering a sense of belonging and self-worth. Additionally, exposure to diverse characters and cultures promotes empathy, understanding, and acceptance of others who may be different from them. By featuring a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives, diverse children\'s literature opens windows to the world, broadening young minds and encouraging them to embrace the richness of human diversity from an early age. That is the goal of the upcoming African American Children\\u2019s Book Fair. I speak with Vanesse Lloyd Sgambati, founder of the African American Children\\u2019s Book Fair which takes place Saturday, February 3rd, 1:00-4:00PM at The Pennsylvania Convention Center, 12th Arch Streets. I also speak to some of the award-winning authors and illustrators featured at the Fair including writers Nikki Grims, Ren\\xe9e Watson and illustrators Ekua Holmes and Frank Morrison.
