Happenings & Celebrations
Gift A Kid a Book This Holiday Season
Our Gift a Kid a Book campaign encourages parents and caregivers to elevate the importance and fun of reading by rewarding children with books. There are so many occasions when you can gift books instead of candy or toys, like their first day of school, tying their shoe or even celebrating losing a tooth. There’s truly no greater gift we can give the next generation than encouraging a love for curiosity and learning. Visit our campaign page for more ideas.
