The under-representation of characters of colour in children's literature in the UK is quantified in the CLPE's award winning Reflecting Realities research.Through this research, the CLPE actively disrupts the demand-and-supply chain and holds the children's publishing industry to account, encouraging it to do better. This book: * explores what Reflecting Realities teaches us; * empowers teachers to take positive to ensure classroom libraries are truly representative; * takes time to reflect on the research; * enables teachers to explore what constitutes quality representation; * includes practical support on how to translate this thinking into positive change in the classroom; * provides guidance for curating literature for young readers; * highlights how engagement with inclusive literature positively impacts school reading cultures and wider teaching and learning.
