Every child deserves access to books of high visual and literary quality. A Book a Day donates new, hardcover titles to partner public schools in West Philadelphia, as well as to community organizations throughout the city. We select beautifully illustrated titles by underrepresented creators that highlight characters and stories from diverse backgrounds. Below, you can find the titles that we have donated since 2014. Feel free to explore and send us a note at abookadayprogram@gmail.com if you discover a new favorite!
