I’ve always thought that no matter what May be happening in your life, a good book can provide the perfect escape. I love to read for fun, but also use books as a way to enter new worlds.

I love books because it helps you imagine so many different things and read about different stories and experiences, both fiction and non-fiction. I want to be part of this chapter to help children get books and find a way to escape and learn and feel different experiences.
