On Twitter, I've been tweeting out a diverse book each day for the past 15 days.  Mostly children's or young adults.  The latest stats about poc in children's books was rather disturbing.  I mean there has not been much change since 2015.  The below is for 2018 (illustration by David Huyck, creative commons).
