Activity 2.3: Where to Find “Mirror & Window” Books

 

Finding “Mirror & Window” Books

 

Saying “find diverse books” is easy, but how do you do it? Here are three places to start:

 

  1. Ask Your Librarian (Your #1 Resource!)

 

Don’t just browse — talk to the children’s librarian and ask for what you need. They love helping families find meaningful stories.

 

Sample questions:

 

  • “Can you help me find picture books about a two-mom family?”

 

  • “My daughter uses a wheelchair — do you have books where the main character does too?”

 

  • “I’d love to find some #OwnVoices books by Indigenous authors.”

 

  1. Look for Book Awards


 Librarians use these seals to identify high-quality, authentic stories:

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Explore Online Resources


 Check out organizations like We Need Diverse Books (WNDB) for curated lists and recommendations by age and topic. 

Reflection

 

Does your child mostly see “mirror” stories, “window” stories, or a healthy mix of both?


 How might you add a few books that expand their world — or reflect it back to them more clearly?

 

Practice Moment


 This week, visit your local library or bookstore. Choose one “mirror” and one “window” book. During reading, talk about how the story feels familiar or different — and what that teaches you both.
