This week is Children’s Book Week! The annual event promotes literacy and encourages us to attend events at schools, libraries and bookstores. We can even host an event in our homes. However we can encourage a young reader to open a book and discover the world of reading, Children’s Book Week encourages you to do it.
Books are a gateway to adventure, education, knowledge, and other worlds. They open our imagination and introduce us to language we might not have otherwise been exposed. Our ability to read is one of those tools that no one can ever take away from us and giving the skill to someone else, especially a child, empowers them to direct their own future.
