#OwnVoices

Not sure what the whole #OwnVoices thing is?  Here's some good info about what it is and why it matter to people who work with kids and teens.  #OwnVocies is the latest hashtag in the fight for more diverse books.  It is used to recommend novels with diverse characters whose author hails from that same diverse group.  It began in a tweet from author Corinne Duyvis and has spread and sparked discussion about what authentic voices look like in novels.  So, to make your journey into the #OwnVoices discussion a bit easier, I have compiled some articles, booklists, and other fun goodies!
