This November we're partnering with Penguin Books and the Pajama Program to help children in need by providing them with new pajamas and new books. For two days this month we'll be hosting a Llama Llama storytime event and we're asking all attendees to bring new and clean pajamas to donate. Anyone who donates pajamas will be entered to win a sweet Llama Llama plush toy! Penguin Books will match our donations with one book for every set of pajamas. For more information on the Pajama Program you can check out the video below. See you November 27 & 28 at 4:30 PM!

New pajamas and books are magical gifts that we collect and give, with love, to vulnerable children. They inspire them, teaching them how to use imagination and creativity to change their lives in the moment, and every day. They are the building blocks of confidence, trust and love. And because we give them unconditionally, these gifts help create a trusting connection and long-lasting bond. It’s easier than you might think to comfort and delight the children who need it most, giving simple but magical gifts that lift the spirit and can change the world.
