Join the MKE4Kids Baby Book Drive!

Why It Matters

The first three years of life are critical for brain development. During this time, babies are learning, growing, and absorbing the world around them at an incredible rate. Sharing a book isn’t just about reading—it's about bonding, talking, singing, and creating powerful learning moments that prepare children for school and lifelong success.

May 1 - May 31, 2025

Help us spark Mighty Small Moments by donating books to little learners across Milwaukee!
We're aiming to collect 1,095 books—one for every day of a child’s first three years of life!

Book Requirements

We are collecting new or gently used books for infants and toddlers (ages 0-3), including:

  • Board books

  • Picture books
