Welcome to Preemie Book Project 〰️

We;re so happy you’re here! Browse our site to learn more about our impact.

Our mission is to improve the lives of premature babies and their families by providing them with books to promote language development and infant-family bonding.

why books?

Premature infants face many obstacles, and their families face incredible stress. Reading to preemies in the NICU promotes literacy and language development, reduces parental stress, and fosters a bond between parents, siblings, and baby.

our story

19 years ago, I (Hannah) was born premature at 29 weeks. I was read to every day in the NICU and have grown to love reading and learning. My mom and I started Preemie Book Project as a way to give back and support babies and their families during and after the trying experience of a NICU stay.

partners

We are based in Philadelphia, PA and are currently partnering with the NICU at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.
