Students are engaged and sharing personal reflections during our book talks. One student in particular, who previously struggled to stay engaged, is now the first to raise her hand during discussion and has even asked for additional books by the same author! It's moments like these that show just how powerful access to the right books can be.\r\n\r\nYour donation has made a lasting impact in our classroom.
