Our organization provides free books for kids in low income areas. It is very important for us to have a diverse selection of children’s books to help these children see themselves as a part of the story and universe.
Reading diverse books opens your eyes to the world.
Reading is vital for a democratic society.
No matter where you are from… or how you Look, Think, Love, Believe, or Vote… We’re glad You’re our Neighbor! #Radicalinclusion #kindnessiseverything
