'Lil Dominican Readers: Literary Boxes & Collection
“I didn’t read books by Dominican authors until I was in my 20s, and it’s a shame because I feel that if I had read books with characters I could identify with, I would have felt affirmed and validated in this world. With Lil’ Dominican Readers we hope to create a similar impact in the lives of your child. May this collection of books inspire them to continue reading our stories.” - ANGELA ABREU, Founder & Creative Director of Dominican Writers Association
