Book Celebrations

Books Between Kids works with Houston area elementary schools to put on Book Celebrations, which are “free book fairs”. Each student has the opportunity to browse and choose 6 free books to take home and keep. In the 2024-2025 school year, we distributed more than 172,000 books to more than 27,000 kids in Houston.
