We’re so excited to welcome Shetal Shah, the author of Shakti Girls, to Diversify Your Shelves. In her guest post, she talks about the importance of inclusivity in children’s literature, and how we must take action to see the change we’re advocating for. Shetal Shah’s debut Shakti Girls introduces children to 13 Indian women who embody “shakti”: feminine energy and strength, power, and a force to be reckoned with. The stories about the inspiring women who made impact in fields such as science, politics, math, activism, and sports are told in verse and accompanied by colorful illustrations.
