Happy Mother’s Day to all the best! 💐

Brooks has found great joy in hitting the “I love you mom” button on his talker and honestly it melts my heart so much every time he touches it! His smarts, giggle and just pure joy are some of my favorite things about him!

Brooks has taught me a lot about being a mom and while I still have a lot to learn I’m so love with this journey we are on!

🥳TODAY is Give Hastings Day!!!!!

Who we are & why donate to us:

📚 Brooks’s Bookshelf was created to teach, advocate, and inspire conversations about Down syndrome, autism, and the beautiful uniqueness in every person. Through books and conversation, we hope to help children feel seen, understood, and celebrated while encouraging kindness, inclusion, and acceptance in our community.

✨Because of your donations, we’re able to keep all 30+ of our bookshelf locations stocked with books for local children and families to enjoy. This is our 6th year as a local nonprofit, and we are so grateful for the support this community continues to show us.

💛Every donation helps us continue creating spaces where every child feels represented, valued, and included. Thank you for supporting Brooks’s Bookshelf and believing in our mission! 💙
