About the Project

The BounceBack Books website is a project of the KU Center for Public Partnerships and Research and the Iowa Department of Public Health. The project grew from the partners’ work on Lemonade for Life, a training program for family support professionals that uses ACEs research to build hope and resilience among families. BounceBack Books is a work in progress, and we are continually adding new books and resources to the site. Do you have a favorite picture book you’d like featured here? Send in your ideas, and we’ll work with you to highlight books and develop discussion prompts that fit our BounceBack criteria. “Funds for this project are provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program (Grant Number X10MC31141), awarded to the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH).
