**Inclusive Literature** - While books have come a long way in their depiction of multicultural characters, positive portrayals of books featuring Jewish, Gay/Lesbian/Bi-Sexual/Transgender, Arabic characters and those with disabilities are still often overlooked. Inclusive literature for children and young adults contain interesting and engaging plot lines and illustrations, which happen to include these character(s) and their unique backgrounds.
