Books are mirrors, windows and doors. They tell us who we are, where we have been and where we can go.
Literature for Life unleashes intellectual potential. We are committed to supporting the role of mother as her child's first teacher by facilitating our one-of-a-kind reading circle program to marginalized women throughout Toronto's priority neighbourhoods. Our trained facilitators choose books with stories and characters that are relevant and meaningful to the young mothers who will read them. Through reading and sharing stories, these mothers develop skills in literacy, empathy and decision-making, and they pass these skills on to their children. Our programs serve the needs of two generations for the price of one.
