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.

I enjoy writing the Beyond the Secret Garden column with @rapclassroom but even better is getting to talk with him to people about why we do the work we do. Please do let us know if you’d like to be involved in an event with us!

Next week @ksandsoconnor and I will start arranging events around our forthcoming book: Beyond the Secret Garden: Racially Minoritised People in British Children's Books. Please do get in touch if you'd like to discuss an event / podcast / interview etc!
