We are excited to announce the VA Reads book lists for the 2026-2027 academic year. VA Reads is dedicated to providing educators, librarians, and parents with an annual selection of quality, inclusive children's literature, offering students opportunities to experience diverse perspectives through reading.

We encourage educators, librarians, and parents to incorporate these selections into their reading programs to foster a diverse and inclusive literary environment for students.
