The Sister Girl Collection: 50k Book Initiative
Donation protected
The single most significant factor influencing a child's early educational success is an introduction to books and being read to at home before beginning school. (National Commission on Reading, 1985).
Recognizing the crucial role of familial empowerment in fostering a love for reading, Sister Girl Publishing emerged to address the need for early childhood literature. Our mission is to create inspiring books that empower children to believe in themselves, promoting self-esteem through characters they can relate to.
Reading proficiency by the end of third grade is a key indicator of a child's educational, health, and social success, as well as high school graduation (Child and Family Policy Center).
The Sister Girl Collection aims to contribute to this crucial milestone by providing educational resources such as books, journals, motivational coloring books, and educational technology resources. These resources, adorned with vibrant illustrations and captivating storylines, are beacons of inspiration, fueling a desire to explore more literary adventures.
Goal:
My vision extends beyond individual impact to a collective endeavor— The Girl Collection 50k Sister Girl Book Initiative. I aim to place 50,000 Sister Girl Books into the hands of 50,000 children by the end of 2024. This initiative gained recognition at the PBS NC Impact Early Childhood Education Summit, where we proudly announced our mission.
PBS NC supported our goal and purchased 400 books to aid our cause. Yet, our mission is far from over. The 50k Book Initiative is a movement to empower young minds through literacy by taking books directly into our community.
Literacy is the cornerstone of achievement; together, we can inspire transformative change in our communities. Join us on this empowering journey, one book at a time.
Your participation is crucial in helping our mission to extend the joy of reading and learning to various corners of our community. Through our initiative, we aim to:
- Sponsor classrooms, creating a vibrant reading environment for students to explore and enjoy diverse literary adventures.
- Bring books to women and children shelters, providing solace and educational engagement during challenging times.
- Donate books to after-school programs, enriching the learning experiences of children beyond the classroom.
- Support literacy organizations dedicated to aiding children, contributing valuable resources to their educational endeavors.
- Share the gift of books with daycares, fostering a love for reading from an early age.
- Place books in laundry mats and social service facilities, transforming everyday spaces into hubs of inspiration and knowledge.
In addition, we are committed to transparency and engagement. Our monthly video updates will provide a glimpse into the progress we're making, showcasing the impact of our collective efforts in fostering a culture of literacy and empowerment. Together, we can make a lasting difference, one book at a time.
With gratitude and hope,
