West Philadelphia nonprofit using books to help children explore and understand their world

In an age shaped by social media and constant information, many parents struggle with how much of the world children should be exposed to. The nonprofit A Book A Day believes the right book can help children better understand the world around them and themselves.

Step inside founder Sibylla Shekerdjiska-Benatova’s home, and it feels less like a house and more like a living library. Thousands of children’s books line the shelves and fill boxes, each one chosen with intention.

“Books are museums,” Sibylla said. “The types of books we choose have gorgeous illustrations.”
