Bus load of books

I came across Busload of Books recently.

The project provides free books and creative programming for kids in underserved communities across the United States direct from author / illustrator duo Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr.

Since 2018, they have been offering free author / illustrator visits and all-school book giveaways in Title I elementary schools – energizing kids and communities to read and create.

It began when Robbi and Matthew (and their four kids and two dogs) spent the 2022-2023 school year traveling the country in a tiny home school bus, logging 34,000 miles, visiting one underserved elementary school in each state, and providing free books and assemblies to 25,000 students and teachers.

It still continues.
