To promote reading any and every where, at any and every moment. As a child I would read the back of the cereal box, the newspaper, labels and ingredients my love of reading turned into my love of the written word and literacy and I hope for all children.
I’m working on getting a little free library built in honor & memory of my daughter’s life and love for children’s books
Reading can open our eyes and thinking to new perspectives of all kinds, diverse reading is more important than ever in today’s world to keep growing.
Students need a diverse selection of books not only to represent themselves but all peoples of diverse heritage and backgrounds.
