“Donations to WNDB have enabled us to fund grants for 25 publishing internships over the past three years. Fully HALF of those interns have gone on to obtain full-time jobs in publishing, and they’re already bringing greater diversity to children’s books, promoting affirmation and empathy for ALL kids. If you think this effort is as important as I do, please support us by donating today. THANK YOU!”
