Our Partner

Rona Kader Wolfe has been a kindergarten teacher and anti-bias educator for 30+ years. She is currently working at the UW-Milwaukee Children’s Learning Center as the Assistant Director for the Kindergarten/School Age Programs and  Administrative Specialist in Anti-Bias/Social Justice Education.

Next Door MKE’s Books for Kids program is a Milwaukee-based initiative that collects and distributes new and gently used books to children, primarily to support those in low-income families, by helping them build home libraries and develop crucial literacy skills.

Books serve as mirrors that reflect a child’s culture and help build identity. They are also windows into someone else’s lived experience. In recent years, children’s literature has become more diverse and reflective of different races, religions, family structures and disabilities. It is so important that children have books in their library that reflect them! Share with friends and family and help us build the libraries of the children served by Next Door!
