SLJ’s School Librarian of the Year (2020) Cicely Lewis founded Read Woke, a movement and call to action to give voice to the disenfranchised in education and literacy.

These series give children the tools necessary to help them formulate their own opinions about social justice issues and find ways they can participate in the efforts to create a more just and perfect world.

Giving all children the opportunity to see themselves and their world authentically represented in books is key to their personal and academic development.
