My Project

Our students need inclusive picture books! These books have received excellent reviews and will fly off the shelves at all grade levels. Teachers come to the library for great read-aloud, and I know these books would be very popular!

Representation matters!

At times, I look at the shelves in our library and am saddened by the lack of materials. With your assistance, we can provide the latest books that students will want to read and cherish. You will be helping students see the beauty of being themselves and the importance of becoming READERS for life!
