We Read Too for Positive User Reviews
✓ Terrific idea for an appThis is a terrific idea for an app! I’m a NC public school librarian (media specialist). I’ve downloaded it on my phone to find book recommendations for our media center. The app is easy to download and works well on my iPhone (even though it’s an older model). Well done!.Version: 2020.5
✓ A great start for budding readersThe best ideas sound obvious in retrospect, and this one is no different: an app full of thoughtful book selections that represent the full spectrum of readers. The books on show provide a huge range of perspectives, but also age ranges – you’ll find something for the smallest kids in your life that will bring magic to bedtime, but there are also selections up to young adult, keeping everyone reading and enjoying great books. Great work!.Version: 2020.1
✓ Great start!I really like the idea behind this app! Super helpful way to find books that let my kids see themselves on the page! Would love to see the app develop more: - browsing by picture (book cover) would be a great option - would allow it to feel more like browsing at the library and be a much quicker way to see what books my kid might want to read (as opposed to having to click each title separately) - breaking out the "genres" label into actual genres, not just age grouping - reading level suggestions and/or correlations like another reviewer mentioned - ability to add keywords to book descriptions to search out books about certain topics.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Delightful addition to the App StoreThank you for putting this app together. I’ve already written down books I would like to read. I only wished there was an option to save the books I want to read, like a wishlist. Other than that, this is a wonderful and delightful app!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Love it! More genres!I LOVE that this exists, and the list of books is quality, too!! So into this already. It would be awesome to include adult books too, though, and to split what's there already into more genres. Having just children's/YA doesn't narrow down the selection much for people browsing. And it's really important for adults to see themselves in books too!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ YESSSS!!!I WISH this app was a thing when I was a child. There aren’t enough words to describe how important it is to read stories about people who look like you. Growing up I often times felt invisible because none of the main characters ever looked like me. BUT THIS!!!!! Kudos to Ms. Thomas for creating this wonderful app!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Great app for young black and brown girls and boys!This app has grown so much over the years and I’m so proud it has. It’s such a refreshing resource to introduce users to books written by writers/artists of color and that feature characters of color. I remember vividly the extreme effort my mom used to have to put in to find books like these for myself and my sisters growing up, because these are often not the popular children/YA books promoted by the mainstream. This would’ve been a welcome resource all those years ago and I definitely plan on continuing to use this app not just for myself, but for my future children as well..Version: 2020.1
✓ Much love and support (:Can we expand into adult black authored books as well? I’m a college student and would love more of a directory for all ages but still in support of people of color having this platform ! Excellent idea.Version: 4.0.0
✓ What a great resource!I cannot tell you how happy I am that an app like this exists. I’m so glad that somebody went out that way to make this. Something to spread black culture is highly needed. The newest update makes everything super clear and easy to use. The best parts of the app are not only being able to search what I’m looking for, but also the hundreds of recommended options. There’s so much material available..Version: 2020.1
✓ Librarian app :)Thank you for making it so much easier to support black writers and writers who writer about black children..Version: 1.0
✓ Awesome, could have some moreThis is an awesome app with a good selection of books. One small bug; the suggestion form has no scrolling or hiding keyboard so I can't see what I'm typing in the genre box. Also it'd be a super useful addition if there were tags based on things like African American, Asian, LGBTQ etc so I could narrow it down some. Keep up the good work.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Best library of books by authors of colorThis app is one of a kind. I love being able to see such a comprehensive and wide ranging library that represents people of color. Also the UI is even better with the most recent update. Great project!.Version: 2020.1
✓ Looking Good!Looking forward to the progression of this App! Saw some info about it on an Instagram pic and downloaded straight away. #supportyourown!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Great resourceThis app is a great resource for books representing PoC. Each book is listed with a synopsis, general details (like genre, publication date, page count, etc), and where to buy it. Highly recommended for exposing your kids to a diverse set of literature.Version: 2020.1
✓ Great App!!I am so happy that someone has thought about how important it is to expose our youth to diversity through literature. I do wish there was a save button or option, so when someone comes across a book they'd like to read/buy there will be a reference list..Version: 3.1.0
✓ SO incredibly helpful! Could use more refining.This is a fantastic app. As a librarian, this is really going to help me find more books for our young patrons featuring people of color, so thank you. What I’d really like to see on this app, is a way to narrow your search according to topics, genres, and themes rather than just having one category labeled as “books.”.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Great way to find new booksI appreciate the effort that went into making this app. Lots of great books and many we will be sure to check out. The books aren’t free - they are under copyright - so you need to buy them. My kids love Ada Twist Scientist, Sulwe and Jabari Jumps..Version: 2020.1
✓ Brilliant IdeaI feel sorry for the person who went off on you calling you racist. They missed the point of your wonderful app. It will bring so much information to kids who need it most. I just wish I knew how to financially support the app. Good luck to you in this and your future projects..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Love the idea. Add more books.Although I didn’t find any books that were for older people 20+ I still rate it 5 stars because as a person of color its always hard finding books by black authors with black characters. Please add more books for older people. Thanks..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Awesome AppTHANK YOU!! Sooo much for your work and putting together an app we’re we can find all of the books for our little girls and boys. Easy access and representation is much appreciated and needed. Thank you very much! P.S- Don’t let the negative comments deter you, this is awesome and well appreciated. 😊.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Incredible resource!! Fantastic app...I have several young black nieces and nephews so I use this app to find books with characters who look like them. Usually I would spend time in bookstores searching but this saves me time and allows me to find amazing stories for my family. I’m so appreciative that Kaya developed something that was needed for people who want to find books with characters who look like them. Thank you!.Version: 2020.1
✓ ExcelentThis app has an excelent concept and is so snappy and fast. An app that does what its suposed to is a good app in my book :) love the clean design and how intuitive it is. Best feature is that it is connected directly to the customers and anyone can suggest a book! Love it!!.Version: 2020.1
✓ Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!🙏🏽Exactly what I needed for myself..and my 7yr old! 👧🏽 Great for authors that needed this platform!📚 Also great tool for teach others from all walks of life about diversity and inclusion!!✌🏽 Thank you for giving us a platform.... #BlackGirlsRock!👸🏽❤️.Version: 2020.7
✓ Great App!Bravo - she’s became the change she wanted to see - huge number of books. It really does make a difference when the reader sees a reflection of self in stories. Also like that the App is very simple to use. Thanks so much!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ This is just great!I truly appreciate this app. As a teacher it can be difficult to find picture books that positively represent people of colour and celebrate their existence and contributions to this world. Schools often features some of these books during Black History Month but positive representation of people of colour should be a part of daily learning for every child. Thank you!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Thank you SisterI hope with further development of your app you are able to offer a subscription club that allows readers to enjoy the book via your app. I would also like to see your app offer audible books. I love your idea..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Amazing!This app is such an incredible resource, and very nicely designed! Thank you for building this for us 😊.Version: 2020.1
✓ Great that this exists!I'm really glad someone's taken the initiative to make this app. It's clearly in it's beginning stages so I look forward to seeing how great it will be when it's grown and gotten things like sorting capabilities..Version: 1.0
✓ I’m very grateful for this app!This app has helped me find some of my favorite books so far. Reading stories especially fantasy fiction books about characters that look like me, really warms my heart. I love the updates that’s been made to the app. This app is my go to for a new book to read..Version: 2020.7
✓ Fantastic appI love this app. It has a great curated selection of books for each reading level. I know when I open this app I’ll find lots of books for my children and family to enjoy..Version: 2020.1
✓ Excellent Excellent Excellent!!!When I was little the only books I got to read were ones assigned by my teachers. Not many of them were written by black authors, very few had black characters. It wasn’t until I got to college that I read books written by black authors and heard black stories. This app gives little girls a chance to be exposed to black authors and read stories that resemble themselves..Version: 2020.1
✓ Brilliant idea!I absolutely love and support this app. What an amazing idea. I truly believe diverse literature is paramount to a more understanding and accepting society. The more children see diverse characters in diverse circumstances, the better. I've been searching for a way to locate books based on cultural representation for quite some time, and I'm thrilled to have discovered this app! Kudos..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Great app/resource! Love the re-designI wish I had a resource like this when I was younger to display books where I saw characters that looked like me. I am absolutely loving the re-design - so easy to navigate, and so pleasing to the eye! So great to see how many titles have been added since its launch (and I am excited to see more added as well). Definitely a great app..Version: 2020.1
✓ It’s NOT racistGrowing up where almost every book I read as a child had characters that did NOT have brown skin. This is awesome. In a world where we are the minority showing our children that we deserve to be the main character not the side kick. Not the girl down the street. The main character. I am an aunt and godmother and I have already used this to purchase books for the kids I love. There Asian, African American and Caucasian. We are different but we are the same in many ways and we all deserve to be a front row participant in the fabric of the world. Go girl!! Awesome app..Version: 4.0.0
✓ There are different ways of looking at this.I grew up in Detroit...decades ago. I had several friends, both black and white.l have never been a racist. The sad part was when my black friends had books with drawings of only white children. This author is correcting that error! I am very happy to see these stories..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Love itJust downloaded it today, already want to embark on this journey of reading meaningful books, spent some time trying to find books which have meaning and this app has brought that. However, the only suggestion I have right now is to add an option where you are able to either mark the books you want to read in a “favourites” so you aren’t scrimmaging to find it again..Version: 3.1.0
✓ We Needed This!Thank you for this app. I struggle to sort through all of the book lists and even Goodreads to find books by/about people of color for my daughter. It’s also difficult to communicate all of those lists to my students in my courses. This has just made my life! If I can make two suggestions: 1) it would be nice to be able to search by topic and 2) it would also be nice to either create a list that stays on the app or connects to Goodreads. Thank you again! I’ll be sharing this app in all of my young adult and multicultural literature courses!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ We need this app to be more usefulI love this app and I want to use it more as a teacher, but I need a way to filter the books. Genre, theme, etc. I would use this app so much more if I could do that. It also would help me use the app to recommend books to my students..Version: 4.0.1
✓ MagicRepresentation matters!!! As a side note, anyone mislabeling this gem of a resource as racist has obviously been privileged enough not to have had to deal with the actual racism that would make such an app necessary. Anyway, I don’t want to detract too much from the positivity and good vibes this app is generating. A great place to get gift ideas and the like. Great work!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Add a literacy leveler for teachersLove the app. As a teacher I would highly recommend adding a Literacy Leveler. Each book has a literacy level which helps to ensure each child is reading a book at their appropriate reading level (so a 3rd grader doesn't get a kindergarten or 5th reading level book). Please check out the reading correlation charts for Fountas and Pinell as most books in classrooms are leveled according to their criteria. It would be a HUGE help for teachers like me whose dream is to diversify libraries AND get appropriate books into the hands of readers. Thanks!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Books for white kids tooI’m white, but I use this app to find books to read to my kids. We read all kinds of books. And I hope that by showing them books with diverse characters, they will see early that diversity is normal. And that we might look different, but have the same feelings on the inside..Version: 2020.1
✓ Love the concept!Really love the concept! Need it broken out in to some genres so I’m not overwhelmed by a long list of books. It would also benefit from some expansion beyond kids and YA as well. Other than that I’m really enjoying this app! Would recommend!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ ExcitedLooking forward to trying this out!! Thank you ❤.Version: 3.1.0
✓ WonderfulThis is a great app for finding books to buy to add to my classroom library! Easy to use and the link to buy the books are helpful. My only suggestion is it would be good if you could search by genre or theme so you can easily find books that complement a curriculum..Version: 2020.1
✓ AMAZING! Thank you for the representation!If you're looking for books that represent your little one and tired of sifting through all those other books at the store, THIS IS THE APP FOR YOU!!! From picture books to chapter books, all POC are represented in this app, meaning our unique POC stories as well. Anyone can go to walmart and find a book about the alphabet, but what about a book explaining why you should love your hair, what activism means and why we need it, I could go on for days. Please download and BUY THE BOOKS because WE READ TOO!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ 👏🏾👏🏾 👸🏾We read and develop Apps!! My daughter thanks you for such a great idea! Thank you for helping Devine who we are! Maybe you can add audio books? I’m hoping Apple allows books to be read like Alexa can some day. Maybe you can reach out to different authors or others that can help with this?.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Thank youGreat application! Thank you so much for creating it!.Version: 3.0.2
✓ My whole family thanks you!!!!This app has been a complete blessing to my wife and I. We are always looking for creative ways to get our children to read more books as well as diversify their book collection. My library is now filled with all sorts of books because of discovering them through the app!! Thank you so much for this!.Version: 2020.1
✓ A much needed resourceSometimes minorities are invisible. What can you recommend to a young person of colour to read when the majority of books are portrait it white kids. This list of resources is helping create that identity, that minorities are not invisible but well represented. Here you will find inspiration for books to read where the actors have your skin colour. Not that there is anything wrong with Harry Potter. This app is a much needed one especially in these times..Version: 2020.1
✓ Thank you for Providing a resource for thisTrue there are many books by people of color, and books with people of color as the protagonists, however, I have to pry through the depths of google to find them. Nice to have an app that that makes the search for these book immediately available!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ A much needed appI love this and will be using it to help my education team select books to use in public school classrooms! One thing that would be helpful is the ability to “favorite” books or make a wishlist in the app so that I can easily keep track of books I might want to order. Thanks for creating this resource!.Version: 2020.5
✓ ImportantI’ve been a constant ravenous reader since childhood and wish this collection had existed since then. Representation in both authorship and characters matter and define your identity as a child. Even as an adult I loved discovering new titles I wasn’t aware of through this app..Version: 2020.1
✓ Great appI love having this app to find books for my little cousins. I wish I had access to something like this when I was little. The libraries didn’t have any kind of variety with regard to books long ago..Version: 2020.1
✓ Any mom should have this appI downloaded this app to help me diversify my collection of kids books. The recommendations have been really solid and we’ve found many new favorites for my two boys. Definitely recommend!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Love this App!I can tell it is in the early stages but I appreciate having the content. With having two young black boys I wanted to make sure they could see children that look like them in books. It’s really minimalistic which is great for me because I just need ideas at this point..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Great resource for libraries!As a librarian in rural California, I love and appreciate this app an I will be using it to assist me when purchasing library books for my community. I admire the young lady who created this app because she knows that representation matters and children of color need to see themselves represented in books as it helps increase their self esteem and lets them see themselves in a positive way..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Amazing app for community and educationThis app is amazing for people of color and non poc to learn about more black authors and the stories that they have to tell of our cultures. It is beautiful that they are highlight and this is a beaming example of what Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr fought for. His message was equality and this helps gives POC authors the platform and reach that they did not have before. Thank you for this and I will be buying these books for my little cousins throughout the year..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Awesome resource!Always on the hunt for good books and this visual resource for diversity rich books is SOOO helpful!!! Love love love!! This is what every parent needs- so much easier and quicker to reference than online lists that I’ve kept bookmarked! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!!!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ This app is a must!!!I love this app as it helps me always make good choices when it comes to books I give or read to the kids in my family or friends’ kids. Representation matters! We need books that feature smart, brave, loved, cherished black characters! Thank you for this app. Please disregard the haters — think about it: had their parents or teachers had such an app when they were little, they’d be so empathetic, conscious and self-aware. Everyone needs this app!.Version: 2020.1
