To mark National Storytelling week we’re talking about diversity in children’s literature!📚

Diversity in children’s books is crucial for fostering empathy, compassion and inclusion.

It also enables children to see themselves represented in the stories they read, allowing them to realise they’re not alone and are valued and seen! 💜

Today is Book Publishers Day!📚

Here’s a little bit about Faerie Press:

Our members are LGBTQ+, and we aim to bring inclusive stories and voices to the homes, schools and families of children who want to explore the imagination of story-telling!

We set out to create and spotlight quality and entertaining children’s literature. We created our platform to enable marginalised and under-represented identities to be heard in a thoughtful, engaging way.

As a collaborative, community focused organisation, we take our knowledge, experience and passion for literature with us as we go!
