My Project

If there's one thing my students have grown to love since beginning preschool, it's story time. Our end-of-day stories are so well-loved that children ask their parents to wait so they can hear a second read-through!

Unfortunately, the books in our library were purchased before our grade became standard in NYC public schools, so they were not selected with our age group in mind.

Our 3K/Pre-K bridge students need books with very few words and very engaging illustrations. Fewer than 1/10th of our books are perfect fits.

Please help us restock our library with perfectly age-appropriate books for our book-loving students!
