Happy Children’s Book Week!

This wonderful week is the longest running literacy event in existence currently. Originating back in 1919 Children’s Book Week was developed because it’s originator, Franklin K. Matthiews, knew that reading and the ability to do so were life changing to those able to do it. Since that time the event has turned from a grassroots local event to something much much bigger. Each year hundreds of thousands of people celebrate the children’s books they love and honor their favorites from the past year.

In our home reading is a BIG deal, and that’s putting it lightly. So we’re obviously thrilled about this week. In celebration of the week we’ll be tuning in to see who wins the Children’s Choice Book Awards on May 7th and we wanted to continue the excitement by offering a giveaway highlighting this wonderful event!
