My Project

My students are voracious readers and love learning about the world around them. They are incredibly passionate about social justice and making sure that everyone is treated equally.

Help my give my students books that will reflect their passion for social justice, as well as the realities of the world around them.

My students will love exploring the different experiences that others face and using that knowledge to help them become activists themselves. Additionally, my students are a diverse group of kids. They deserve to see themselves and their classmates reflected in the literature that is in our classroom, so that they feel seen and heard!
