Here Wee Read Academy

Academy Member Options

I’m passionate about teaching people just like you understand the importance of daily reading and having diversity in literature. Through years of reading and research on my own, along with my own firsthand experience being a parent, I decided to develop an online academy to help people like you and pass on the knowledge I’ve learned over the years.

I help parents, caregivers, grandparents, homeschoolers, librarians & educators create a diverse library at home or school so they can teach the children in their lives about the importance of diversity, inclusion and the power of reading.

I would LOVE to have you join us in this challenge – taking your read aloud routine with the children in your lives to the next level AND helping diversify your bookshelf!

I currently offer two different packages for your convenience:

Package #1 – Show me the books, the discounts AND author/illustrator chats!

Price: A one-time annual investment of $20


Who is this package ideal for?
People who want to receive early access to my popular “Ultimate Diverse Children’s Book List”.  I open up early access to my list every year starting that the end of May.  I’ve been publishing this list for the past three years since I started my blog and it’s always a huge hit.  I’m currently working on my 2019 list which continues to grow on a weekly/bi-weekly basis.  You can see examples of my lists here, here and here.

By receiving early access to my list, you will receive a link to the page and password to access it.  Please be respectful and do not share this password with others.

This package also includes access to my list of brand partners who offer exclusive discounts and coupons to members of my Academy.  All of our brand partners believe in embracing diversity and inclusion.  You can save on beauty products for kids (and adults), books, subscription boxes and more!  These discounts are available to use if I continue to have brand partnerships with the listed brands.  Use the discounts to shop year-round for gifts for your family and friends!

Note:  Gaining early access to my yearly ultimate lists will be available for access starting at the end of May every year.  For example, you will be able to gain early access to my 2020 list beginning in late May 2019 and pay another one-time $20 annual investment.

Lastly, you will receive an invitation to join our private Facebook group AND have access to join our LIVE monthly author and illustrator online chats.  I schedule chats with popular authors and illustrators who believe in diversity in literature.  In July 2018, we will be speaking with author Susan Verde!
