New Book Drive Partner
The Young Dreamers Bookstore is honored to be a new partner in the University of Pittsburgh’s Office of Child Development’s annual Books for Change Book Drive! Through this partnership, individuals can purchase books directly from our website, which will be delivered to the University of Pittsburgh’s Office of Child Development. These book purchases will have a profound impact on children, families, and educators throughout Allegheny County. For more information about the Books for Change Book Drive, please read the section below.
High-Quality, Racially Affirming Books Make a Difference
The Office of Child Development is committed to supporting adults when choosing, using, and donating high-quality books.
No matter the age of the reader, picture books have a unique way of opening the door to relationship building, conversations, and opportunities for learning. But picture books are also powerful agents for change. In 1990, Rudine Simms Bishop said that all kids need books that are mirrors to see themselves, windows to see the world, & sliding glass doors to enter other worlds.
At The Office of Child Development, we believe picture books are not only change agents for children’s learning but are powerful tools to support adult learning too!
