I judge my books by their covers
And I know that is wrong
But put a book in front of me
And it better make me want to read it
That’s why it’s important
To give everyone a picture of themselves
And everyone a place to be
Diversity is important
In every form of media
But in books
Where imagination is key
The cover changes everything
So show me Brown Girl Dreaming
And let me Hold Tight, Don’t Let Go
Let me read what’s Written in the Stars
And be with Little Princes
Tell me how it is after A Long Way Gone
Call me Bud, Not Buddy
Let me feel the love of Two Boys Kissing
And sit Under the Lights
And let me find a new book to read
With a cover that shows me all the magic
Of this magically different world
