Every week, I'm highlighting #lgbtqauthors. 🏳️‍🌈 It's easy to see from their website that Ash Van Otterloo is a highly personable, imaginative person with outdoorsy and nerdy hobbies and great literary taste in their pets' names. Their next book, A Touch of Ruckus, comes out next year. #lgbtq #nonbinary #enby #ownvoices #lgbtqvoices #diversifyyourbookshelf

Another realist fiction about racism and skin color. Donte has a great family but he has trouble at school with racist administration, teachers, and students. He finds his way to the Boys and Girls Club and a fencing coach that helps him find himself in the sport. #BLM #bias #mixed-race #diversifyyourbookshelf

This is a quirky, funny life lesson Manuel about all kinds of current topics. I follow Luvvie on IG and love her beautiful sarcastic wit! #diversifyyourbookshelf #nonfiction

This book pairs well with All-American Boys and was a quick read in my quest to find books for students to help us change mindsets. #diversifyyourbookshelf
