Review for Women's Storybook Project of Texas, Austin, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

What would you give to hear your mother's voice again? Children whose mothers are behind bars may not be able to hear their mother's voice for years. That's because phones in Texas' prisons are scarce and phone calls are VERY expensive. But, the Women's Storybook Project of Texas provides a free option for many of these kids. The non-profit comes into the prisons and works with the women to record them as they read to their kids. Volunteers then send the recording AND a new copy of the book to the kids - no matter what state of the country they live in. And they don't do it once, they do it time after time. HOW AWESOME IS THAT? How absolutely PRICELESS?
