Young adult fiction and children's literature in general have historically shown a lack of diversity, that is, a lack of books with a main character who is, for example, a person of color, from the LGBTQIA+ community, or disabled. The numbers of children's book authors have shown a similar lack of diversity. Diversity is considered beneficial since it encourages children of diverse backgrounds to read and it teaches children of all backgrounds an accurate view of the world around them. In the mid-2010s, more attention was drawn to this problem from various quarters. In the several years following, diversity numbers seem to have improved: One survey showed that in 2017, a quarter of children's books were about minority protagonists, almost a 10 percent increase from 2016.

  • La littérature Young Adult (destinée aux jeunes adultes) et la littérature jeunesse en général ont historiquement montré un manque de diversité, c'est-à-dire un manque de livres ayant pour personnage principal, par exemple, une personne de couleur, issue de la communauté LGBTQIA+, ou encore atteinte d'un handicap. Le nombre d'auteurs de livres pour enfants reflète un manque de diversité similaire. La diversité est pourtant considérée comme bénéfique car elle encourage les enfants de tous les horizons à lire et à garder l'esprit ouvert face au monde qui les entoure. De plus, elle permet à chaque enfant de trouver des personnages auxquels il peut s'identifier. (fr)

De plus, elle permet à chaque enfant de trouver des personnages auxquels il peut s'identifier. Au milieu des années 2010, une plus grande attention a été attirée sur le manque de représentation des minorités dans la littérature Young Adult et la littérature jeunesse. Au cours des années qui ont suivi, les chiffres sur la diversité semblent s'être améliorés : une enquête a montré qu'en 2017, un quart des livres pour enfants présentaient des protagonistes issus de minorités, soit une augmentation de près de 10 % par rapport à 2016. L'édition en France conserve cependant son retard par rapport aux pays anglophones. (fr)
