This may be the most important #ReflectingRealities report from @clpe1 yet. Please read, and reflect—everyone involved with children and their books has a role to play in ensuring books are representative of their lives.
CLPE@clpe1
🔊 Our 7th annual #ReflectingRealities report is out now! This year’s report shows a significant drop in the presence of racially minoritised characters in books published for children in 2023 in the UK.
