Rochelle Humes has teamed up with Little Box of Books for an incredible cause and has received the full support of her celebrity friends, who have rushed to promote her partnership and donate to the cause.

Taking to her Instagram, the mother-of-two announced: "I'm teaming up with @littleboxofbooks to launch our incredibly exciting crowdfunder, #changethestory.

"We would love you guys to help us raise £55,000 to get 10,000 inclusive story books into primary schools all over the UK. 33% of our UK school children are of Black, Asian and minority ethnic origins, yet only 4% of children’s books published in 2018 had a BAME main character," she explained.

"We want to help more children see themselves in stories, it's something I've been passionate about for years, and is what instigated me to write my first children’s book with a black female lead, as I strongly believe you can't be what you can't see."

She continued: "Stories are the window to the wider world and the more that children are exposed to different people from different backgrounds, the more accepting they will be as they grow."
