I am taking the Read in Color pledge because all people should be visible and represented in literature.
Excited to share the love of reading with others.
We’re taking the pledge to encourage our campers to enjoy more independent reading activities.
Valorena Publishing and the Cocoa Kids Collection® books celebrate diversity in storytelling, just like Little Free Library’s Read in Color! We’re taking the pledge, aligning our passion to ensure every child sees themselves in books, fostering love for literacy, culture, and learning—one empowering story at a time!
