The Books That Plant the SEED
Every program includes free books for students. These are the stories that spark belief, break cycles, and open doors — one reader at a time.
Books are bundled into every program. Students don't buy these books — they receive them free as part of a SEED storytelling experience. Each program includes signed copies, classroom discussions, and a take-home book that becomes the student's own.

The Other Side
From A Shack to Silicon Valley
The story at the heart of every SEED program. Martha's journey from a shack in central Mexico to a 25-year career in Silicon Valley — told through the eyes of the child who was smuggled across the border in search of a better life. It's a story of hope, resilience, and the patient believers who showed her the way.
This book is distributed free to students at every assembly, Zoom event, and family program. It's the spark that starts the conversation about identity, determination, and breaking cycles.
All editions are provided free to students through our programs or funded by Book Fairy donations.
