At the Diverse BookFinder, we've cataloged and analyzed thousands of trade picture books published or distributed in the U.S. since 2002 to surface and create a one of a kind resource that includes: 1) A Unique Circulating Collection -- We collect all depictions of Black and Indigenous people and People of Color (BIPOC) in picture books. Anyone with a library card can check these books out through Interlibrary Loan; 2) A Search Tool -- We offer a first-of-its-kind online, searchable database that makes it easier for everyone to locate and explore picture books featuring BIPOC characters; 3) A Source of Critical Data -- We provide real-time data on WHO (which BIPOC characters) is depicted and -- using our unique book categories -- HOW they are depicted in diverse picture books; and 4) A Collection Analysis Tool (CAT) -- We offer a free, online tool designed to help libraries diversify their picture book collections.
