Thanks to donors like you, we have shipped books to all of the children at our daycare partners, and enrolled families in an entire year of eBooks, read-along video books and tips to teach early reading and language skills via weekly emails and text-messages.

We have also welcomed a new partner; Rena Day Care Center in Harlem! All 160 children at this site now have the resources they need to build their home libraries and longterm reading ability.

We are grateful for the opportunity to build home libraries with modern classics: Giraffes Can't Dance; Chicka Chicka Boom; Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus; and more!

Hundreds of our children are raised in Spanish-speaking homes and will receive spanish text messages and bilingual versions of classic titles: A Color of His Own; A Very Hungry Caterpillar; Brown Bear, Brown Bear; and more!

Thank you for giving our children the preschool vocabulary they need to succeed through high school graduation.
