I’m Your Neighbor Books fosters a welcoming America through diverse children’s literature, promoting cultural understanding and cross-community connections.
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.
I’m Your Neighbor Books selects books that reflect the cultural backgrounds of immigrant children, fostering a sense of identity and belonging in their new community.
