The Empathy Drive does not just talk about the importance of diverse books in schools and literacy programs. We are fundraising for First Book to allow schools and literacy programs to select free books from First Book’s Stories For All Project.
Why does the Empathy Drive raise funds for First Book?
1) First Book already provides free and deeply discounted books to close to a quarter of a million educators, librarians, and program leaders nationwide.

2) First Book has a deep commitment to diverse books through The Stories For All Project™, an initiative that “promotes understanding and empathy through stories that can help children see and celebrate their similarities and differences.”
