First Book Presents A Market-Driven Solution to the Need For Diverse Books
“Children from all walks of life need to see themselves–and others–in the stories they read. So First Book–a nonprofit social enterprise that provides new books to kids in need–has reached out to U.S. and Canadian publishers and asked to see more books from new and underrepresented voices.
But we understand that publishers won’t print what they can’t sell, so First Book is putting our money where our mouth is and pledging to purchase 10,000 copies of every title we select.”
