In her research, Bishop (1990) posited that children need to see themselves reflected in literature (i.e., look into a mirror), to see the lives of others (i.e., look into a window), and to see themselves as able to transverse between groups and worlds (i.e., pass through a sliding glass door). In addition to being mirrors, windows and doors, books are also maps (C. Myers, 2014). As children seek their place in the world, they search for where to go and ways to get there.*
