Our Books
All of our books are inclusive, accessible, developmentally appropriate, and represent a wide range of genres. Our books are first vetted by Carolyn Polchinski and skilled volunteers prior to distribution to children. In this model, young readers are provided with the gift of CHOICE in book selection, as choice provides pride in ownership, agency, a sense of dignity, humanity, and independence.
