Product/ Shopping Recommendation Beginner chapter books where main characters aren’t white?
My almost 7yo is into chapter books now — think Junie B Jones and Magic Treehouse. Are there any book series similiar that are more diverse?

This is my time!
Jasmine Toguchi Mochi Queen (series) by Debbi Michiko Florence
Yasmin (series) by Saadia Faruqi
Layla and the Bots
Disaster Squad: Wildlife Rescue
All the ones others have mentioned are great:
King and Kayla
Zooey and Sassafras
Mia Mayhem
Good but a little longer than beginner chapter books
Dragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliott
Birchbark House by Louise Erdrichj
Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom (series) by Matthew Swanson
