"The movement calling for more diversity in children's books has been gaining momentum in the last couple of years, and publishers are responding.

There is still a big gap - now as in the past, the vast majority of American children's books published feature white protagonists. But as the children's books editor here at The Times, I'm definitely seeing a greater number of books by diverse authors and featuring children of different races and ethnicities.

We Need Diverse Books is the unofficial home of the movement, and their web site is a good resource for reading lists and other useful news and information.

Here is my own list of some great kids books with diverse characters - some classics and personal favorites, some new titles generating excitement."
