Every Month, NEA's Read Across America highlights books for young readers that explore a topic related to diversity and inclusion.
The theme for September is Find the Right Words.
These titles show how hard it is sometimes for people to find the right words to convey their feelings and that it is okay to take your time and be mindful.
Here are the recommended books for the month. Find discussion questions and more resources on their website.
