Families can select books in English or Spanish, and for our Haitian Creole speaking families, a special one-time mailing of books and materials is available.

Who Can Join?

  • Languages Offered: Books are available in English, Spanish, and a special selection in Haitian Creole.

Why Join?

Joining The Book Club is a wonderful opportunity for families to enrich their children’s early learning experiences and foster a lifelong love of reading. Each month, carefully selected books arrive at your doorstep, designed to engage young minds and support developmental milestones.

  • Nurture Early Literacy: Each book is chosen to enhance reading skills and school readiness, ensuring enjoyment and educational value.
  • Engage Through Language: We understand the importance of nurturing language development. In cases where Spanish-language books are limited, we offer creative suggestions to enrich the reading experience.
  • Community and Support: Share your moments! When you receive your books, share your reading adventures on social media with #TCTBookClub.
