My Project

Our English language learners love Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar and other dynamic stories!

When migrant children are learning English, Eric Carle's butterflies flowers feel like familiar friends and lift their hearts with joy.

We are requesting a miniature blue rocking chair to give children a cozy reading corner in our school library. When I work with children on reading in our beautiful school library, I often notice that they come to me thirsty and dehydrated. The school's water fountains don't work. If I am asking children to read aloud to me, they can't have dry throats. I bought a Brita water filter with a faucet with my own money, and I would like to give them water bottles that they can personalize with stickers and take home.

We are eager for Eric Carle's butterfly books to keep up hopeful throughout the winter and help us look forward to spring!

Thanks for helping welcome new Americans and English language learners to our country through the vibrant, colorful magic of Eric Carle!
