Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Xenophobia
I tried and tried to think of an “X” word that promoted positivity and diversity, but the only word I could come up with was xenophobia or the fear of strangers. Many people automatically think of the Jewish Holocaust, but sadly genocide has occurred in many other locations against many groups of people. This is just a brief look at some places in which xenophobia has reared it’s ugly head. If anyone has a more positive “X” word, I’d be glad to hear it!
- Hector: A Boy, A Protest, and the Photograph that Changed Apartheid by Adrienne Wright*

Hector doesn’t come out for a few more weeks, but I was lucky enough to read an ARC of this titles and know the author quite well! I can’t wait to see it on shelves!
I’m spending the month of April promoting diversity in children and young adult literature as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Stop by every day for a new list of titles! Also, check out other bloggers who are participating by heading over at the Blogging From A to Z website!
