Nursery World - Crowdfunder campaign hits target to deliver inclusive children's books to nurseries and schools

Books representative of a multi-cultural and diverse society are to be delivered to nurseries and schools in the next academic year thanks to a campaign hitting its fundraising target.

The Change the Story from Little Box of Books is fronted by singer and presenter Rochelle Humes, who has recently published a children's book

The Change the Story campaign will enable Little Box of Books to deliver 10,000 inclusive children’s books to the most ethnically diverse and least ethnically diverse parts of the UK. The aim is for more children to see themselves in the books they read, helping them to recognise and realise their potential.

It is also hoped that children living in less diverse areas can see under-represented children as characters incidental to the storyline in order for them to learn to understand, expect and celebrate diversity.

The Crowdfunder campaign fronted by singer and presenter Rochelle Humes, whose children’s book The Mega Teacher Swap was published this month, hit its £55,000 total with support from KPMG UK.
