I recently did a ton of research to update our Nursery and Children's book collections. Here are the titles I chose, based on a careful reading of each to make sure they suited our goals of promoting diversity and inclusivity:
-God's Very Good Idea- Trillia Newbell -The Big Wide Welcome- Trillia Newbell (these are part of a series called Tales that Tell the Truth and we will be adding the rest from this series to our collection gradually)
-Josey Johnson's Hair and the Holy Spirit by Easau McCaulley
-God Made Me Unique by Joni and Friends, -God made Me AND You by Shai Linne -God Made Me for Worship by Jared Kennedy (all part of the God Made Me series of six books)
-The Garden, The Curtain, The Cross Board Book- Carl Laferton
-Gracefull by Dorena Williams -Colorfull by Dorena Williams
-The Biggest Story ABC by Kevin DeYoung
-Indescribably for Little Ones by Louis Giglio
-We're Different We're the Same by Sesame Worshop
-Our Skin by Megan Madison, Jessica Ralli, et al
-My Heart Fills With Happiness by Monique Grey Smith

Thank you for posting this. I especially appreciate the calls to action.
I'd love to share a link to it, however there are some typos in the prayer.
