More than 9,600 pre-k through third grade students from 80 elementary schools and early learning centers in Manatee and Sarasota counties celebrated reading, kindness, and inclusion on March 5, through books written and illustrated by diverse authors and illustrators. For the past 11 years, Embracing Our Differences Reading Day has engaged tens of thousands of elementary school students in Sarasota and Manatee counties. The objective has been to show children how fun reading is by stimulating student-mentor conversations about inclusion, kindness, and respect for all members of our community.
