My Project

Imagine a world where every student has access to books that reflect their culture, experiences, and dreams. Unfortunately, many BIPOC students in low-income communities lack books that represent them, limiting their ability to connect with stories, find inspiration, and achieve success.

You can make a difference.

Your donation will provide diverse, empowering books to students who deserve to see their voices on the page.

Donate today to help us build a future where every child’s story matters!

Give the gift of knowledge. Give the gift of representation.
