There is absolutely no cost (ever) to registered children!
Each child will receive one book monthly that is to be read to them by their parents or care givers, then placed in the specially designed bookends that will also be available.
These books become the child's own to read over and over and perhaps pass down to their children.
If your child lives in a participating community and is under the age of 5, fill out and return the registration form for each qualifying child or you can register online by clicking here .
