Changing the way children see themselves, one book at a time.

Well Read Child is a literacy initiative building a community around culturally relevant books, connecting authors, schools, and families to stories that reflect and affirm young readers.

Every Child Deserves to See Themselves in the Books They Read
 

At Well Read Child, we build literacy through representation, access, and community. We connect culturally relevant children’s books to schools, families, and neighborhoods. We are ensuring young readers encounter stories that reflect who they are and expand who they can become.

​

This is literacy with intention.
This is storytelling as legacy.

What We Stand For

 

Representation

Children deserve books that mirror their identities, cultures, and lived experiences—early and often.

 

Access

We place books directly into schools and community spaces where choice and visibility are not always guaranteed.

 

Impact

Through partnerships with authors, educators, and supporters, we create sustainable pathways for literacy to thrive.

Next Steps

Host a Book Fair 

Bring books that reflect, affirm, and inspire directly to your school or community.

​

Well Read Child book fairs are thoughtfully curated literacy experiences designed to place culturally relevant children’s books into the hands of young readers—especially in communities where access and representation matter most.

When you host a Well Read Child book fair, you’re not just offering books.


You’re creating space for children to feel seen, confident, and excited about reading.

Join Our Community

Join a community committed to changing the way children experience literacy.

​

Well Read Child members are authors, educators, and advocates who believe that access to culturally relevant books is essential, not optional.

 

Membership connects you to a collective effort to place meaningful stories into schools and communities while supporting the voices creating them.

​

This is more than participation.
It’s stewardship.

Fund the Future

Your donation helps place culturally relevant books into the hands of children who deserve to see themselves reflected in the stories they read.

​

At Well Read Child, we believe literacy is more than learning to read—it’s about confidence, identity, and belonging. When children encounter books that affirm who they are, it changes how they see themselves and what they believe is possible.
