WNDB in the Classroom provides free diverse books to low-income schools around the country. This program was created to address the literacy gap that affects marginalized youth. By helping children find stories and authors that they can relate to, we can help foster in them a lifelong love of reading.
So far, WNDB in the Classroom has donated over 19,000 books across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Every fall we donate 4,000 copies of our most recent Walter Award winners, and throughout the year we arrange giveaways of diverse books provided to us by publishers, corporations, and individual donors.
If you are a publisher or author interested in donating books or funds for an upcoming giveaway, please complete our interest form below.
