If Buildings Could Talk 2: Celebrating 60 Years with Children's Book Giveaway to Community Organizations

In celebration of World Architecture Day, we set out on an exciting mission to celebrate Little’s 60th anniversary by sharing the joy of design and sustainability with future generations through our “60 Books to 60 Organizations” initiative. What began as a goal to donate 60 books quickly grew beyond expectations, and we are thrilled to be donating over 75 copies of our recently published children’s book, If Buildings Could Talk 2, to 65 organizations across the country.

This effort is more than a book donation—it’s an opportunity to inspire young minds with the importance of creativity and environmental stewardship. Through imaginative storytelling and vibrant illustrations, If Buildings Could Talk 2 invites children to explore the wonders of sustainable architecture, inspiring them to think differently about the built world. By connecting with schools, libraries, hospitals, and community groups nationwide, we hope to foster a love for design and a passion for creating a better, more sustainable future.

Curious about the organizations in the Carolinas we’ve donated to and how they’re making a remarkable difference? Explore the list below.
