What Is Kids Like Us?

Kids Like Us is a non-profit organization dedicated to the literacy learning of children in city schools. We believe that one of the keys to becoming an expert reader and writer is having access to outstanding books that reflect, value, and celebrate our lives. We're committed to providing schools with high-quality children's literature that our students can relate to--books that depict city living, multicultural communities, and familiar urban landscapes. We also provide professional development and technical support in selecting high-quality children's literature and utilizing classroom libraries to support children's reading and writing development.
