Fostering Inclusiveness with Diverse Stories

by Ann Miller

As we plan our future book discussions, we face the exciting challenge of creating a balance between favorite, familiar books, authors and genres, and expanding our selection to embrace new, thought-provoking, potentially life-changing reads. We know that one reader may connect with a tome and its characters through shared life experiences, while another reader will experience an eye-opening moment of enlightenment. This is why diverse reading selections create a more inclusive book club.

These are a few stories that I’ve recently read and found inspiring mixed in with a few favorites. You’ll find even more on the Book to Art Club Title page. I hope you will check them out!
