Every Month, NEA's Read Across America highlights books for young readers that explore a topic related to diversity and inclusion.
The theme for December is Activate Inner Strengths.
Characters in these books can show students how to look within, recognize the gifts they have, and appreciate who they are.
Here are the recommended books for the month. Find discussion questions and more resources on their website.
