Bringing the multicultural, creative spirit of Keats into children’s lives and literature.

The Ezra Jack Keats Foundation fosters children’s love of reading and creative expression by supporting arts and literacy programs in public schools and libraries; cultivating new writers and illustrators of exceptional picture books that reflect the experience of childhood in our diverse culture; and protecting and promoting the work of Keats, the preeminent author-illustrator whose book The Snowy Day broke the color barrier in mainstream children's publishing.

It’s Banned Books Week. 📚

Books give children the chance to imagine, question, discover new worlds, and see both themselves and others reflected in stories.

This week, we celebrate the freedom to read — and the stories that deserve to be shared.
Let Books Be.

With gratitude we pay tribute to Gloria Steinem for raising the quality of life for all human beings. She may have made it look like it was easy work for her, but it wasn’t. Thank you Gloria!

Dolly Parton gave so many children the chance to grow up with books of their own. Millions of kids had stories in their homes because of her.

She did so much good in the world. She'll be deeply missed.
