Late last spring, I ran across the First Book project to generate more diversity in children’s books. The project also works to get books into the hands of needy children in North America. As writers, I think we all understand the need to encourage new generations of readers.
And if you’re thinking about ways to show how thankful you are at Thanksgiving — at least in the US; belated “happy” T’day, Canada — this sounds like the kind of cause a writer could support.
In the meantime, read a little about their “market driven” project.
