<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Hello - I am looking for sources to help me find alternatives to the same old books that teachers are used to relying on - with the twist of presenting teachers with alternatives that could be used in the classroom that might show a more diverse mix of characters or real life people. I want to expand teachers' thinking about some of the more "tried and true" stories and get them to introduce more "mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors" into their read alouds - without making it a slog for them....</span>
