When I was trying to find books for the Diversity Rocks challenge I had the same difficulties, and ended up checking author photos and bios.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903483776045957403.post-63425087104910668212009-05-25T11:04:35.055-04:002009-05-25T11:04:35.055-04:00I'm always looking for new YA lit.

I think there is a lot of good literature out there. One of the obstacles we have to address is changing people's perceptions, mainly that having a person of color as the main character doesn't mean you the reader won't be able to relate.<br /><br />I know you prefer stuff instead of faces. I'm just the opposite. I love seeing people on the covers. I'm drawn to their features and expressions as much as I am drawn to book titles.<br /><br />Thanks for a great post. By the way, Ali and I were listening. We're changing our scheduled to 1st and 3rd Fridays. Stay tuned.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924982664582970754noreply@blogger.com
