Elementary Edition

Spend 7 days with your children reading at least 8 books. We have provided a curated collection and a discussion question for each day. (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7) Want go the extra mile? Form a book club and work with some friends! There's no due date and no grades. There are books, videos, questions and opportunities for deeper connections and understandings.

All books on this website can be found in PAUSD elementary school libraries in print or digitally or from our partners at the Palo Alto City Library.

If you would like to purchase any of these books for your home collection, we encourage you to reach out to some Bay Area Black-owned bookstores listed below.
