Big Book
Giveaway!
Young, Black & Lit is partnering with teachers, organizations and schools across the country to provide support for their students during this unprecedented time. We are providing books to help students and WE NEED YOUR HELP!
How Does It Work:
1. An organizer will identify a set of books from Young, Black & Lit's Book Bank to provide (It could be a set of books for each student or a library of books for a classroom);
2. Young, Black & Lit will create a fundraising page to raise money to provide the books at no cost to the students or their families;
3. Organizers will share the page with their personal networks. Spread the word. Raise money. Reach the goal!
4. Young, Black & Lit will mail books once the fundraising goal has been met!

My classroom is geared to upholding a family-oriented environment in which students have fun, develop positive social skills, and take academic risks without feeling discouraged. Our students although faced with poverty and other barriers at such a young age, they are simply amazing.

2nd Grade Class
DC Bilingual Public Charter School,

I have taught 2nd grade for the past 5 years and have seen great connection with my students when they are able to see themselves in the books that they read. Enhancing my library and seeing their hopes realized is all I want for my students and their journeys through reading.

4th Grade Class
Four Heroes Elementary,

My 25 students come from such amazingly diverse backgrounds, and I want each of them to have an opportunity to see themselves in the books they read, and learn from the stories of others. They are curious, motivated, and deserving of every book we can put in their hands.

I have the best group of students ever! The children in my class LOVE to read and get excited when they have the chance to get a new book! This group of students definitely likes a lot of the fantasy/sci-fi/superhero stuff (as do I!) but they also like realistic and historical fiction too.

I teach kindergarten to an amazing, and deserving group of littles who love books! Right now, many of them only have access to the 2-3 books we were able to send home with them when we started "distance learning". Getting books into their hands right now would be amazing.
