“Dear whoever gets this note, please let my mom keep reading the books to me, one more thing: I love hearing her voice.”
Each year
WSP helps thousands of incarcerated mothers connect
with their children by recording mothers reading books
to their children. We then mail each recording
along with a brand new copy of the book to their child.
“ I miss my mom.
I don’t get to see her much,
so her reading means the world to me.”
We work
in 10 women’s prisons in Texas and send packages
of love to over 100 Texas counties and
over 35 states across the US.

Mission
Connecting children with their incarcerated moms
through the joy of literature
Turning Pages
Children with incarcerated parents haven’t committed a crime. They are a vulnerable population who are often overlooked and forgotten. Keeping in contact can be difficult from prison as offenders may be held long distances from their families. Those that maintain contact are up to 6 times less likely to return to prison.
Turning Lives
“I have two daughters who absolutely love their books. It has been a blessing to be able to be a part of this program. It has made me real in their little lives once again.” Women’s Storybook Project (WSP) enables families to reconnect through the simple act of reading a story.
