          Using a combined school- and home-based model, books are delivered to children from diverse backgrounds: religious and secular; immigrant and Israeli-born; disadvantaged and wealthy. Within this diversity the books serve as a unifying influence, as teachers work together with families to encourage a love of reading, enhance the children's individual and collective identities, and reinforce the values and cultural heritage reflected in the stories. Evaluation findings and anecdotal testimonials consistently demonstrate that the program not only promotes children's budding literacy capabilities, but also impacts family reading habits, empowers disadvantaged families, and promotes a common literary and cultural canon among different strata of society.
