Never struggle to find the right diverse, anti-bias, or social justice children’s book again!
This searchable database of 500+ anti-bias books for children ages 3 to 14 includes books for each of the 6 building blocks of anti-bias reading:
🧱 Block 1: Books that provide positive mirrors to children about their social identities, their families, and their communities.
🧱 Block 2: Books that provide positive windows into the lives of people who have different social identities than a child’s own background.
🧱 Block 3: Books that help children understand different forms of personal bias and systemic injustice.
🧱 Block 4: Books that accurately portray history from the viewpoint of groups that have been marginalized by society.
🧱 Block 5: Books about movements for social justice and their leaders.
🧱 Block 6: Books that portray young people engaging in action against bias and injustice.
Within the searchable database, you’ll find in-depth information for each book title, including
- major topics covered (i.e. food, neighborhoods, moving, baseball, homelessness, etc)
- main characters’ identities (i..e. race/ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, and more)
- authors’ identities (so that you can identify #ownvoices books!)
- book cover images
- recommended ages
- whether audiobook or bilingual versions are available
- links to the book’s description on Bookshop.org

Hundreds of hours of research went into this database, including carefully reading and screening the books, researching information about the authors, and all of the details of compiling the database details.
Each month, I add additional books to the database, making it an ever more valuable resource as time goes on! The database will help you discover new social justice-themed and diverse books and find books that match children’s particular interests.
The database will also save you so much time if you’re wanting to compile a booklist for a particular topic that your child is obsessed with, or that you’ll be focusing on in your classroom.
How can I use the database for my home or classroom?
- Families: find your next great read by searching by topics that match your child’s interest. (I’m compiled more than 400 topics, so there’s sure to be something that every child will love.)
- Educators: Bring your history lessons to life with a huge array of historical fiction and engaging non-fiction books, and find age-appropriate books for your social-emotional learning activities.
- Inspire young readers with stories of both adults and youth who have worked for peace and justice.
