Last year, my son came home from school with the most unexpected and wonderful gift… a Literati box full of books from his favorite basketball player of all time, Steph Curry. Steph and his wife gave Literati books to the children in the Oakland Unified School District, where over 88% of the student population receives reduced-priced lunches. Steph is a local hero, and this gift was no ordinary gift. The box itself was beautifully branded and durable. Inside, it was full of a variety of age-appropriate books that were well-curated, interesting and high-quality. For me, it felt like finding a unique treasure. One of the books in particular, “Size Wize”, was such a hit, my son still reads it over a year later. He references it for his homework assignments on nonfiction. He’s become quite the expert on animals as a result. We moved away from Oakland into a different school district this year that unfortunately uses Scholastic for its book fairs. When my son came home from that fair with a cheap slime toy and yet another graphic novel full of cartoons and hardly any words, I was so disappointed. I’m now on a mission to try and get his school to switch to Literati book fairs. The quality is so much higher and I want to do everything I can to recreate that special moment my son had with his Literati gift. Instilling a passion for reading in our children, especially our boys, is priceless.
