"We’re so glad you’re here! We can’t wait to work together and spread the magic of books in your community. Now it’s time to stop only imagining young children in your community with books in their hands and smiles on their faces and actually work towards making it a reality. The Book Dash team will guide you in selecting a few Book Dash books that reflect the context and realities of the children in your community and help you find a local printer that can print 1,000+ books. You will also receive the necessary resources to identify partners in your community so that the children receive these books to own, absolutely free."
