Books are for everyone, but not everyone sees themselves in books. In the past couple of years the hashtag #ownvoices has been used to highlight books by diverse authors written about their own diversity. They help others understand their experience and give young people from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to see themselves reflected accurately in the books they read.
