Join our longtime supporters at Z Space and Word for WordPlay for a bold new stage adaptation of Dave Eggers’ The Eyes & the Impossible, winner of the 2024 Newbery Medal for excellence in children’s literature. The story takes you to the inner world of Johannes, a free and fast dog—and his job as the “eyes” of an urban park by the sea. Join him in his trials and tribulations as the equilibrium of the park is upset by an influx of humans, construction, and other animals. You won’t want to miss this fully staged production on Z Space’s Steindler Stage in San Francisco, presented in classic Word for Word style.

Our lovely friends at Word for WordPlay are also running a children’ s book drive for us through March 15th! Bring a book — or many — to donate, and get a beautiful The Eyes & the Impossible sticker!!

We’re delighted to share this video we just presented at the 2026 National Book Access Association‘s conference session on the nitty gritty of Book Bank operations. We’re always so inspired to hear about all the creative, effective ways organizations around the country are working to spread book joy with free books for children who need them!
