ABOUT US
Where Literacy Begins
Talking With Books is a small 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to ensuring that every child has access to books, language-rich environment, and opportunities. We tackle book deserts because we know that without access to books, children are denied critical moments for literacy, communication, and growth—moments that shape their future.
“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.”
