Promoting cultural understanding and diversity through literature for immigrant families with I'm Your Neighbor Books.
I’m Your Neighbor Books fosters a welcoming America through diverse children’s literature, promoting cultural understanding and cross-community connections.
The organization works to diminish stereotypes and false narratives about Immigrant and New Generation communities by increasing access to the rich and growing diversity of stories in children’s literature.
New Arrival Project
The I’m Your Neighbor Books’ New Arrival Project uses the power of literature to welcome new immigrant families and encourage a feeling of belonging as they adjust to their new American home.
Through a donation and volunteer support, Martin’s Point helped purchase and distribute age- and culture-appropriate books to 200 children served by Catholic Charities of Maine. Set in the child’s home country or in their diasporic community, the books help provide a crucial sense of home during the often-isolating immigrant/ refugee experience.
