We Read Too App Reviews

Thank you for making it so much easier to support black writers and writers who writer about black children.

I wish I had a resource like this when I was younger to display books where I saw characters that looked like me. Its great to see that there are in fact so many titles out there for children of colour when visibility in a broad sense is so sparse. I cant wait to see the titles expand to include more YA and adult titles, and maybe even some comics. Great so far though!

I only wish this was made sooner! What a relief to be able to find books featuring diverse characters. Imagine how resourceful this could be for young children too!

Its about time something like this came around! I only wish I had something like this when I was younger! Children of color read too! Kayas initiative to break the subgenre of books about children of color is groundbreaking. I cant wait to share this with my younger sisters and friends! Looking forward to seeing the new literature initiatives that are sparked after the creation of this app. Get it get it get it! Its more than worth it.

i love this app. as a literary resource for people of color, it is amazing.

This is such a significant, timely app that will make a great impact in the lives of young people. Well done!

A great resource for those in the education field!

According to research done by the Cooperative Childrens Book Center (CCBC) in 2012, out of 3600 children books, 93% were about white children and only 7% were about children of color. When I was compiling a summer reading list for elementary grade students this would have been a great resource! It is difficult to find resources for books about children of color even online, try googling "books for students of color". We need to address this problem! Thank you so much for app and please keep adding more books.

This is the app Ive been waiting for, I wish this had been around when I was a teen. Thank you for this!

If only this were around when I was younger :/ but I love the entire message behind this app I hope it reaches the top of the charts

This amazing app is exactly what I want to show my kids. Finally an excellent app that provides whats missing in literary society!

I will definitely use this with my students as I look for a wider and more diverse body of literature to use as an urban educator. Thank you Kaya for providing this invaluable tool!

Im so excited to see this!! If you havent already look into Daniel Black books. May I suggest linking the books to black owned book stores instead of Amazon-much more of an impact if we could put our money where our mouth is!

I cant wait to share this app with my staff at Ranson IB MS in Charlotte, NC!

The list of books by authors of color for readers of color is growing and it makes me so happy. This is definitely a great app to start creating a reading list. It gives exposure to books that are overshadowed by the mainly white cast in other books.

What an awesome app, the diversity of this application makes reading for all children that much better. Great job Kaya, and loved you on Another Round

I heard about this app through a podcast (Books on the Night Stand). As a teacher, Im always looking for resources to help me incorporate multi-cultural and multi-ethnic literature into my classroom library. This is going to be a great help! Good work, Kaya!

Found this app through a friend, and am thoroughly delighted. I love YA, and I now have so many new books to read. Looking forward to when there are more adult titles included as well!
