Children's Book Project

We are inspired by the work of Dr. Tasslyn Magnusson, winner of the 2025?Children’s Book Council & Every Child a Reader Free Speech Award for?her courageous work against book bans in our country. Like Dr. Magnusson, we believe in the power of #ChildrensLiterature to save lives by helping children appreciate themselves and others, and?shaping "how young people understand the world, and their capacity to imagine it better." #ChildrensLiteracy?#NonProfitOrganization??#ChildrensBookProject https://lnkd.in/g_KGxy-c

Studies show that with more diverse books in the classroom, students spent more time reading and their reading scores improved above national averages, with the greatest gains for the lowest scoring students. As #BookBans increase across the country, we're doing our best to help ensure that children have access to high-interest, culturally engaging books that reflect their lives and community. Help us continue with our mission of giving books to the children who need them most, by donating a book from our curated #Wishlists! https://lnkd.in/d9tW-m_w
