THE NEED

These are the facts.

2/3 of children from
low income households have no books at home, yet books in the home are the single biggest indicator of academic
success.

Children should feel seen.

We believe wholeheartedly in the importance of children having access to books that reflect their unique identities and open their eyes to other people's lived experiences.

It takes a community!

We connect families, educators and our community with free books and literacy resources that ignite a love for reading and affirm and reflect the diversity of young readers.
