The under-representation of characters of colour in children's literature in the UK is quantified in the CLPE's award winning Reflecting Realities research.Through this research, the CLPE actively disrupts the demand-and-supply chain and holds the children's publishing industry to account, encouraging it to do better. This book:

explores what Reflecting Realities teaches us;
empowers teachers to take positive to ensure classroom libraries are truly representative;
takes time to reflect on the research;
enables teachers to explore what constitutes quality representation;
includes practical support on how to translate this thinking into positive change in the classroom;
provides guidance for curating literature for young readers;
highlights how engagement with inclusive literature positively impacts school reading cultures and wider teaching and learning.
