Women’s Storybook Project, a nonprofit based in Austin which serves children across the state of Texas and the nation, will hold its 6th annual fundraising luncheon in -person on Thursday, April 28 and online on Friday, April 29th. Today we talk to Jill Gonzales, Executive Director of Women’s Storybook Project. At Women’s Storybook Project (WSP), the mission is to connect incarcerated mothers with their children through the joy of literature. Incarcerated moms are given the opportunity to earn (through good behavior) the ability to record themselves reading a book, which is then mailed to their child. The result is that a child gets to hear their mom reading them a bedtime story.
