The Power of
Reading
A tiny book can create a big moment.
For families in the NICU, so much of their experience can feel medical and unfamiliar. Lily’s Hope Library creates an opportunity for parents to do something wonderfully normal: read to their baby.
💗 Board Books Only
Durable and wipeable/cleanable
💚 Diverse & Inclusive
Representing families, cultures and backgrounds
💗 Encourages Bonding
Supporting reading and connection
💚 Hospital Appropriate
Designed for NICU environments and hospital cleaning
A parent sitting beside an incubator, turning the pages of a book and talking softly to their baby can create a moment that feels like parenting rather than hospitalization.
What is the Lily's Hope Library?
Each Lily’s Hope Library is housed on a dedicated mobile cart provided by Lily’s Hope Foundation and stocked with approximately 80–90 carefully selected board books for NICU families.
Then a cute green/pink checklist:
-
Age-appropriate board books
-
Durable, wipeable materials
-
Diverse and inclusive titles
-
Books that encourage bonding and connection
-
Books selected with NICU families in mind
-
Donor-recognition opportunities
MAKE AN IMPACT.
