​Top Predictor of Academic Success

Books In The Home

Research tells us that the number one predictor of academic success is the number of books a child has in their home. For example, University of Nevada-Reno sociologist Mariah Evans led a research team and conducted a 20-year study that found the presence of books in the home to be the top predictor of whether a child will do well on standardized tests and attain a high level of education. This was found to be especially true for children from disadvantaged families.

Unfortunately, the children that need it the most can afford it the least.

Together We Can Change This!

6th Year Anniversary

Eyeseeme African American Children's Bookstore is Celebrating it's 6th Year Anniversary & You Are Invited

 

About This Event

When we opened Eyeseeme African American Children's Bookstore in 2015 the concept of a brick and mortar, black owned, independent bookstore, which featured multicultural children’s books, was unheard-of, especially in the age of Amazon. But our mission to make sure that ALL children can see themselves in the literature that they read, was too important to ignore.

It has now been six (6) years and we have grown year over year and have been able to reach and enhance the lives of more and more children. We even made it through COVID due to community support.

Join Us as we celebrate and say THANK YOU!

Saturday, June 19th

12noon - 4pm

PLUS: A special Juneteenth Presentation at 7pm
