Screen-Shot-2020-09-15-at-11.44.00-AM-1024x603-vfkqxp.png

The children’s literature community — authors, illustrators, publishers, librarians, educators, reviewers, and readers — stunned I’m Your Neighbor Books with their overwhelming support this fall.

With their support of the fundraisers Turning the Page: Children’s Literature Trivia Night and the KidLit Raffle to Support Immigrant Welcoming, we were gifted with over $10,000 in in-kind and other generous donations.

Please Join Us in Thanking…
