Today, @theclpe.bsky.social released the 8th Annual #ReflectingRealities Report, showing progress in ethnic representation and calling on the industry to keep inclusive literature as standard practice.
A visual asset which reads “surely trends are for genres not for representation”. Followed by the blog’s title: “Before & After Reflecting Realities- some thoughts”
“Surely, the argument isn’t that inclusive books are a publishing trend?”
We blogged!

Poster for the film Blitz by Steve McQueen, showing a mother and child in World War 2 London
My favourite film of the year: BLITZ, written & directed by Steve McQueen. It takes the WW2 historical drama to a new level, telling stories & showing experiences we've never seen before on cinema screens. This is to film what #ReflectingRealities is to children's books - everyone should see it!
Give them the joy of reading, it's never too soon!
