This year, with help from our friends, Linda Sue Park and Chris Raschka, we remind ourselves what lies behind this grand task to create a living culture around books - the why and the what for. Their beautiful words and images lend further credence and add a new facet to our mission: to nourish, empower and inspire the reading lives of young people “so the words live inside them, flower and spark, for the rest of their years.”
Right now, and into 2022, we need your support more than ever before. That’s a humdrum fundraising cliché, but we are now in fact coming into the home stretch. This time we’re not asking you to imagine, we’re asking you to see for yourself and to help us finish what we started so long ago, together.
With warm regards and many thanks,
Pete + Deb
P.S. - if you have already made a contribution, please accept our hearty thanks!
