Follow the journey of Jenny, a young elephant from Bengal, India, as she embarks on a tale of resilience, friendship, and discovery. Through breathtaking puppetry, illusion, and magic, watch her adventures unfold across continents, her special bond with Opu, and a heartwarming reunion on the grand stage of New York City.

2025 ALSC/Candlewick Press "Light the Way" Grant

 The ALSC/Candlewick Press “Light the Way” Grant is open to any project that seeks to engage an underserved population of children from birth up to the age of 14. Special population children may include (but are not limited to) those who have learning or physical differences, those who are speaking English as a second language, those who are in a non-traditional school environment, those who are in non-traditional family settings (such as teen parents, foster children, children in the juvenile justice system, and children in gay and lesbian families), and those who need accommodation service to meet their needs.

 

The grant recognizes that underserved populations vary from community to community, and all programs that seek to specifically address concerns in this area are eligible for consideration.

 

Application form - Due Dec 16, 2024
