[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have made a point to have normal children’s book that feature everyday children and families that happen to be black. We also have books that talk about skin color, “Whoever you Are” by mem fox and All The Colors We Are by Katie Kissinger. We have multiple black baby dolls/doll house people/ LEGO friends etc... when we have the opportunity to have the imaginary play represent the world we live in, I consciously include both. I chose to give my business to people of color, particularly women, for example our pediatrician. [/quote]

I'm also at this point with my just turned 3 year old. There is some diversity at daycare, but our day to day life right now (because she doesn't go anywhere except daycare because of Covid) is otherwise not diverse. I just signed up for a diverse book club that will send us 2 books each month. We've got fairly diverse dolls and toy figures for her to play with, though she'd rather play with the animal figures than any of the people at this point.

Here's the book club:
