In Their Words: A Mother's Gratitude

Leyssa Garcia, Dylan's mom, reflects on the impact of the Imagination Library in their home—and how it shaped Dylan's love of learning.

Interview with Leyssa Garcia and Flor Gomez.

"DPIL gave Dylan a love of books before he could even talk."

"We still read together every night—it's our special time."

"It's amazing to see how confident he is now when he reads aloud."
