“The ability to read is one of the greatest victories life has to offer. Books help kids make positive life decisions. I want to help get books in the hands of all kids.”​

By the Numbers

For children living in poverty 80% of pre-schools and after school programs do not have a book for every child they serve, only 1 book for every 300 children is available.
