Earlier this summer, Tess Goldwasser, a librarian at St. Mary’s County Library, Lexington Park, Md., blogged about children's books that celebrate diversity. The titles she recommended, along with a few more suggested by commenters, all highlight the importance of being true to yourself. Through their words and illustrations, they empower children and help them understand that being different isn't a bad thing.
