The Let's Read Decodable Books Collection, a foundational literacy program from The Asia Foundation published exclusively in the US by Bebop Books®, offers a set of thirty engaging stories organized to progress readers through specific and sequential phonics skills.

Blue background that fades from light to dark blue, top to bottom. Text reads "ABOUT THE BOOK: At first glance, you wouldn’t guess that Lilly holds a lot inside. Like her embarrassment when she gets teased for wearing the same clothes to school every day. And her disappointment when her teacher hands out permission slips for a field trip with a fee, which Lilly knows her mama can’t afford. And the heaviest secret she holds is that she and her family don’t have a home and sometimes sleep in their car. Winner of Lee & Low’s New Voices Award, debut author Vanessa Lewis-Porter brings her experience as an educator to share the challenges some of her students faced in school. Coupled with emotive illustrations by award-winning artist Cornelius Van Wright, The Things We Hold is a gentle reminder to always lead with kindness and empathy because you never know what a person is holding inside." Illustration off Lily and her sister at bottom right corner, copyright 2026 Cornelius Van Wright.
