Like Me Library aims to provide books featuring characters that represent children with diverse abilities. Here we promote acceptance by ensuring all children and their families feel represented in literature.
According to a study done in 2019, only about 3.4% of children's books published that year featured a character with a disability.

Children need to see themselves in the books they read — not just to feel included, but to understand they are not alone in their experiences. — Adapted from sentiments often shared by We Need Diverse Books.
