WHAT WE DO

|
All children deserve to read and own high-quality, diverse books that are mirrors, windows and doors for their imagination.
When children enter the justice system, a familiar and friendly picture book format may help young people cope with stress and uncertainty.
Children's books, like those we bring to Family Court, can inspire a love for reading, even during a difficult moment.We proudly offer children's books to any of the children who enter the Family Court system.
We place children's books throughout the Family Court experience, including a lawyer's office, or a judge's chamber.
Our mission is to supply children's books for children in family courts in Illinois and the surrounding Midwestern states.
In the future, we want to expand and include more states and cities outside the Midwest.We bring children's books into waiting areas of Family Court and related areas in the justice system.
Our book donations are filled with high-quality, diverse children's books.When leaving the family court waiting area, children can take home a book of their choice.
