Link to Libraries school visits, MA
I’m thrilled to be working with Link to Libraries, an organization that “strives to inspire young readers and enhance the language and literacy skills of children of all cultural backgrounds” by increasing access to books at home in school. Since 2008, they’ve donated over 1 million books to children!
On Feb 28, I’ll be visiting schools in MA to share my love of literacy and copies of Iggy Who Breathes Fire thanks to the generosity of Link to Libraries and their donors.
