Because Every Child Deserves an Author Visit and a Book.
Our Story
LOWEY BUNDY SICHOL was on book tour in 2019 for the release of her book series, FROM AN IDEA TO… when she noticed an uncomfortable trend. Most of the schools she visited were in affluent communities and had the resources to bring several authors to their school each year and the budget to purchase their books. Realizing that her school talks and books brought tales of inspiration through entrepreneurship, including stories of individuals who came from very little, Lowey set out to do it differently. She wanted to connect with schools in low-income communities and inspire those children.
Lowey understands that many companies want to give back, too, and started to partner with select companies, which would sponsor her author visits. This meant donating her books (one per student) while she donated her author visit. Employees of the sponsored company also attended the author visit, helped hand out books to the kids, and saw immediately the impact of their donation.
What happened next was magical. Teachers and students had a once-in-a-lifetime author experience that left children inspired to dream big and go home with their own autographed book (for many of them, it was the first book they had ever owned).
Since 2019, Lowey and her sponsors have successfully given away over 5,000 books and dozens of free author visits to Title 1 schools. But we’re just getting started.
Be part of this movement to that brings entrepreneurship education, books, and author visits to everyone!
