Juneteenth #diversebooks Dropoff

Thank you Jo & Tara for allowing Read4Unity to visit your Harlem office & share 30 diverse books for your awesome Juneteenth book bash tomorrow!

We are excited to select @behindthebook as our #books4heroes recipient for July and August!!

About @behindthebook :

Behind the Book inspires students to love reading by bringing accomplished authors and their books into classrooms in innovative literacy programs. They partner with classroom teachers and work directly in NYC public schools – exclusively those at which 75% or more of the student population lives at or below the federal poverty line.

Jo (2nd pic!) founded Behind the Book in 2003. They have served more than 12,800 students and donated more than 17,500 books to students, to classrooms, and to school libraries.

Their immediate huge need is for pre-K-5th grade books that represent LatinX students.

Read4Unity will do our best to dedicate July and Aug to support this awesome org!

📚We want to share AT LEAST 300 k-5 books with them by 8/31/2021 📚 Please join us!!! 📚Read4Unity.com/give 📚send us books from your fave Latinx authors!

Thank you for standing with us to be the bridge of unity, one diverse book at a time! #read4unity #behindthebook #books4heroes #partnership #juneteenth #fridaydropoff
