it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Summer reading is critical to preventing the "summer slide" and helping students maintain the literacy gains they've made during the school year. I want to put engaging, high-quality books in my students' hands—books that excite them, represent them, and encourage a lifelong love of reading. "Amari and the Night Brothers" by B.B. Alston is the perfect choice.
This book combines fantasy, mystery, and adventure while featuring a smart, courageous Black girl as the lead character—something many of my students rarely see in literature.
Through Amari’s journey, students will explore themes of self-belief, identity, and resilience. It’s a powerful story that can help them see themselves as heroes in their own lives.
By funding this project, you’ll help provide a copy of *Amari and the Night Brothers* to each student for them to read and treasure over the summer. With your support, we can inspire a love of reading and empower students with a story that reflects their strengths and dreams.
