Hit hard by the #reflectingrealities survey by @clpe1, which found that (in 2017) only a shocking 1% of children’s books had a BAME main character, we commissioned this illustration by Maria Migo. @LetterboxLib @rapclassroom @nikeshshukla

“It’s not just a case of creating ethnic minority characters, it’s a case of what proportion they represent, and what is the quality of that representation” On the inspiration behind the @clpe1’s groundbreaking survey, out today! @storyriver https://t.co/oO4P08szY4

[Sweet Apple @SweetAppleBooks]
