<h2>Help us get authors and artists into classrooms and books into students' hands.</h2>WAAC—Writers & Artists Across the Country—is a consortium of children’s book industry professionals who are building a nationwide network to facilitate author and artist visits in underserved K-12 schools. Author and artist visits can change children’s lives, yet they rarely occur outside independent schools or well-resourced public school districts. WAAC knows firsthand that personal interaction between children and creators fosters literacy, promotes empathy, and enriches global citizenship.    Data supports the results: By introducing under-resourced students to authors we create engaged readers; by supplying them with free books we strengthen education.
