A website that offers recommendations by age category and theme for books that are inclusive and reflect the modern world. The aim is to correct current imbalances. The website highlights recent research highlighting this. The website recommends:
- Books featuring main characters, a diverse cast or real people from marginalised groups
- Books that do not include negative or harmful stereotypes
- Books that offer broader views on British culture, through authentic language choices and illustrations
- Books that tell stories about people who have been excluded historically
The website also champions books by Own-Voice authors and illustrators who share the same cultural, ethnic or other identities as the characters they create and shines light on under-represented authors and illustrators who also create books that are not Own-Voice. For these creatives, they make rare exceptions to feature their books with animal main characters, for example.
