Love free books? Me too!

As a former nonprofit leader and children’s book author, I am passionate about putting books in the hands that need them. That’s why I’m partnering with fellow author Jimmy Vee to ensure that Kids Read for Free! Every month we give away a pack of books that we love to teachers, parents, and librarians.

Here’s how it works

I’m Leia Barrett, and I love to tell stories that make a difference.

I’m a musician, former nonprofit leader, and children’s book author passionate about helping kids develop a love of reading. During my time as Director of Education for the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, I presented programming to more than 60,000 teachers, students, and families every year, including the highly popular Symphony Storytime Series. These experiences inspired me to bring stories to life, and I want that for children everywhere.
