Authors and illustrators influence and inspire kids in need every day.
In addition to creative contributions, they raise awareness and funds to support literacy and education in their local communities and across the country.

- Support First Book’s mission to get books and educational resources into the hands of kids in need
- Connect schools and community programs with ongoing access to books and other educational resources
- Be the first to know about exciting opportunities to change lives through First Book
