Founded in Fall 2022, the Diverse Books for All Coalition is comprised of  thirty nonprofits and membership organizations from across the U.S.. They've joined forces to tackle a common challenge that has impeded children’s literacy for decades:  the lack of high-quality, affordable children’s books by and about diverse races and cultures. Among its strategies, the Diverse Books for All Coalition will leverage the power of aggregate buying to influence the availability and pricing of diverse children’s books. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has awarded First Book, the nonprofit social enterprise that organized the coalition, with a $1 million, 18-month grant to support the initiative.
