Across our country, April 30th and all year long, librarians, educators, organizations, publishers and families excite ALL our children to be readers. Today, we celebrate each of our children in a special way–all children, all cultures, all languages.

Many thanks, gracias, to all of you who promoted this year-long initiative that both celebrates children and literacy. Thanks to those of you who planned and hosted events and who are also encouraging our young people to be readers this summer.
