weneeddiversebooks:

Marie Lu: I was a huge reader when I was a kid, but I didn’t see a lot of myself in the books that I was reading.

Everybody should be able to go into a bookstore or a library and look at the shelves and be able to see themselves looking back.

The importance of “mirrors” and seeing yourself in books cannot be understated. #WeNeedDiverseBooks so kids like NYT Bestseller marielubooks will see themselves.
