Our goal with “NYC Reads 365” is to offer a selection of books that will provide our students with mirrors that reflect the greatness of who they are as well as windows into the world that allow students to connect across cultures. Please let us know what books you and your children love the most by taking our short survey https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5224879/NYCReads365.
