I always have my nose in a book. Reading is such a big part of our lives that I was stunned to learn from First Book that in most low-income communities there's only one book for every 300 children. So here's what I want to do: I want all of us to get together to provide 50 books for kids. First Book has a special deal with publishers, so you can get 5 books for just $15. I hope you'll join me, and let everything know why on the blog!

This is an incredibly effective way to instill the love of reading in children who don't have easy access to books. Every child should have this opportunity. Please donate!

This is a really wonderful thing you've started, Emily. I love FirstBook. Kyle Zimmer heads it, and she totally rocks! Besides: books for kids -- just $3 each. How could any of us say no? I'll be sure to tell my friends.

Many of you are aware of my love for books. Let's share the joy of reading with others in need. Please join me in my effort to raise 300 books for children!
