Books Save Lives believes the right book at the right time transforms the mind and heals literacy trauma. Books Save Lives believes that all children deserve a reading journey that challenges their perceptions and reshapes their thinking. Daphne Russell’s introspective reading process helps fix the areas where reading growth has been stunted by providing the tools to not only become more literate, but to gain self-confidence. Her method is providing people of all ages access to reading relevant multiculturally diverse books and understand how the transformational power of books truly can save lives.
