Our Mission
To promote literacy in underserved communities by bringing to life the powerful connection between author, book and reader.
What the Ellavoz Children’s Literacy Foundation does:
Select schools will be invited to apply for a grant which will provide chosen schools with a full- day author visit. Prior to the visit, the chosen schools will be sent a complete set of the author’s books for the school library. In addition, every student will receive their own book to take home and keep.
