Donate Now! Help make a difference in the life of a child!
Reading has power for young children. Stories develop a love and understanding of language that is the precursor to strong reading skills. Stories instill life lessons about character and the choices we make. Stories not only take us to other cultures and other lands; they also provide common language and experiences that unite us with our own community. As a donor, you can bring the whole world to a child by sharing your love of reading.
