Abstract	Picturebooks are written artifacts that convey cultural messages and values about society and help children learn about their world. Books children read and interact with, including those used in classrooms and educational settings, can influence children's self-awareness (Chaudhri & Teale, 2013) and help them develop a positive self-identity (Hall, 2008; Levin, 2007). Books also assist children in breaking and questioning stereotypes and help broaden their cultural perspectives (Thein, Beach, & Parks, 2007). Picturebooks are educational tools, and most children come into contact with them; consequently, the content of picturebooks matters. This study explores the diversity represented in a corpus of contemporary picturebooks, both within the content of the books and of those who created them. (As Provided).
