Empowering Diversity Through Stories
Because every child deserves to see themselves in the books they read.
Because every child deserves to see themselves in the books they read.
Despite a third of the UK’s school population being from ethnic minority backgrounds, the latest figures from the National Literacy Trust show just 5% of the children’s books published featured ethnic minority protagonists, and only 2% feature Black heroes.
Over the last few years, there has been a slight increase in books with more diverse characters but a lot of them are limited to being about history or social issues – so many children from ethnic minority communities are limited to only see themselves in these contexts.
When children see themselves in a positive light – being the heroes, princesses, astronauts, scientists, or just simply as the focal point of an amazing story – it creates the possibility for them to take up space and step into their full potential.
The ‘Best Children’s Party Ever’
Feedback from Woke Babies Foundation CIC first summer party in August 2024 was that it was the ‘best children’s party ever’, with parents and children gushing about the various themed activities and book give aways that was provided for them.
