“Reading, then, becomes a means of self-affirmation, and readers often seek their mirrors in books... When there are enough books available that can act as both mirrors and windows for all our children, they will see that we can celebrate both our differences and our similarities, because together they are what make us all human.”
-- Rudine Sims Bishop, "Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors," 1990.
