Every year, #ChildrensBookWeek celebrates the bounty of beautiful books for children—and also reminds us that too many kids in our communities lack access to books of their own. That's why our mission is to give free books to children who need them for equity in literacy, learning, and life.

You can help us close the equity gap and raise readers by running a #ChildrensBookDrive—online or in person—at your office, business, school, or community organization.

Thank you, Patrick, for all your amazing work with us and helping us give books to children who need books for equity in literacy, learning, and life.

Our celebration of #AANHPI Heritage Month continues with another book review of the must read “Kapaemahu” by Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, Dean Hamer, Joe Wilson, and Daniel Sousa.
