Rosemond Sarpong-Owens is the Lion's Historian. I am passionate about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and believe that Representation Matters! My goal is to ensure that children see themselves represented in books. I want to make stories of great leaders come alive for young readers.! That is why I started writing the "Heritage Collection books". These books are for young readers to enjoy. Parents and teachers, you can use my books for your family reading time or school reading time. Together we can instill a love for history and appreciation of multicultural leaders who have changed the world. My hope is that as young readers see themselves represented in books, it will unleash their unlimited potential for them to dream boldly.
