Kay, one of this year's book donors, just sent me this article. It made me cry. Then I read it again and it gave me chills. Then I read it a third time and it made me think "I'VE GOT TO DO MORE!!!"
The article mentions a study that found giving books to kids to OWN - 12 each - at the beginning of summer, makes a difference in their future education. It also mentioned the feeling ownership gives a child.
I hope you'll read the article even if you're not on pins and needles each day to learn how many books I've gotten. There's proof out there that just owning some books makes a difference in these kids' lives.
Now: how am I going to give 12 books per child instead of 3? Oh my.
