This impactful legacy builder begins with our Louie Book Buddy Program. We now offer a scalable school-based mentoring program that pairs older students with 1st–2nd graders for guided read-alouds of the Louie’s Little Legs books—sparking a love of reading while building character, kindness, patience, hope, trust, and student leadership.

From Louie’s Little Legs, we continue the impact with lessons that grow with the reader with our middle-grade book, Love Like Louie, and our High School and college-level book and program, Lead Like Louie.

Our Continuum: Story → Mentorship → Application → Character → Leadership → Continual Impact!

, in collaboration with our long-time partner, Crayons and Beyond, is an on-site, on-demand resource for students and teachers, offering immediate access to school supplies, books, hygiene products, and snacks. Help us to stock these school cupboards with Louie Books for all ages.
