We read countless books to choose the ones families genuinely enjoy together: stories with heart and imagination, with natural diversity and no agenda. Over a million books delivered so far.
The subscription boxes are wonderful. The books are hardcover, gorgeous, high-quality, and the stories are a good blend of books or characters we have encountered and books that are new to us but we quickly fall in love with.

Books are what schools already fund
Books students keep come out of materials and family-engagement money, which is often easier to find than a software budget. These are the usual places.
