I See Me! Announces a Partnership with First Book, Helping to Give New Books to Under-Privileged ChildrenI See Me! Inc. is proud to announce our partnership with First Book, a nonprofit organization that has distributed over 60 million books to under-privileged children in thousands of communities around the USA. Periodically throughout the year, I See Me! Inc. will feature a special promotion that provides a $10 donation to support First Book.
Do you remember a favorite book that you read as a child? Access to books is essential to developing literacy, yet many children from low-income families simply do not have access to books. A recent study* shows that while in middle-income neighborhoods the ratio of books per child is 13 to 1, in low-income neighborhoods, the ratio is 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children. "Our goal," says Maia Haag, president of I See Me! Inc., "is to work with this outstanding organization to pursue our mutual mission of increasing literacy in children."

I See Me! Inc. Supports Hundreds of Schools With FundraisingDid you know that I See Me! can help raise funds for your child's school? We will give your school a special free shipping code to give to parents and teachers. Every time your school's free shipping code is used on our website, your school will earn $5 per book purchased!
This program couldn't be easier. There are no costs to participate. There is no administration required for the school, because parents go to our website to order with the code. The school simply includes a few sentences about the free shipping code and our website address in its newsletters. Hundreds of preschools and elementary schools across the USA have signed up for this easy way to earn extra funds. To learn more, contact Lissa Golden at
