“I am always excited to see what book we have gotten for our baby at the beginning of every month. We love building our son’s library, and hope that his monthly deliveries help him develop a deep love a reading like both his parents! We are so thankful for this amazing program. Reading is fundamental!”

Parent – Emma Sutton

“My daughter Ellie loves walking to the mailbox to find her new book waiting! Each new book quickly becomes a favourite as my daughter’s vocabulary has been expanding so quickly with reading these books to her. We are so thankful for the opportunity to receive these books – our latest one being completely new to us – we had never heard of it before.”
