Silver Spring Pride Book Donations
Our first time giving out books at a Pride event was a HUGE success. Children were so excited to see books that represented their family. We are firm believers that all children deserve to see themselves in the books that they read and this event was pure magic!
Below is just a couple of the reflections:
- One family thanked us for having the book, Adrian is a Mermaid and wished that they had a similar book to read to their daughter when she was younger.
- A little girl cheered, “I have two moms!”, when she chose a copy of Heather has two Mommies to bring home.
- A family sat on the sidewalk reading the bilingual version of The Family Book and thanked us for offering books in Spanish.
These books are making an impact and that is thanks to all of you!
