Kids' Books Bolivia is a series of bilingual children's books written by undergraduate students on the SIT Study Abroad Program in Bolivia. This reciprocity project contributes to the production of affordable books celebrating Bolivian reality and serves to raise international awareness about Bolivia's rich cultures and pressing social issues.

"On June 19, I represented 'Kids' Books Bolivia' at a reception for graduating anthropology majors and their parents at Northwestern University. The director of undergraduates for Northwestern's Anthropology Department specializes in childhood anthropology and has been hugely supportive of 'Kids' Books Bolivia.' She invited me to set up a table which displayed the books and our website along with a letter written by Julia Steege and Elizabeth Henley explaining the mission of the reciprocity project. Julia and Elizabeth, author and illustrator of Esperanza, were among the graduates being honored at this event.
I was pleasantly suprised by how many parents stopped by the table, asked questions, and read the books. One mom even proudly told me she was able to read them in Spanish. It was truly a joy for me to see people's enthusiasm for the project and I always love an excuse to talk about Bolivia."
