We know that a child that starts reading at an early age fares better in school and in life and because of that, we want to make sure every child has access to books. Unfortunately, not all families have access to books which is why we need you and your readers to help get books into the hands of children that need them most – up to one million books to be exact!
By creating a Bookprint – the five most influential books in your life - on Scholastic’s social networking site for booklovers, YouAreWhatYouRead.com, your readers will trigger a book donation from Scholastic Book Clubs to a child in need through the nonprofit Reach Out and Read. It’s simple and free – the only challenge is narrowing down your favorite books to the top five! Then the fun and learning continues as users can connect with other book lovers and see what books they have in common with some favorite authors, including Alice Walker, Suzanne Collins, James Patterson, Jodi Picoult, and Meg Cabot, along with 210 other authors, celebrities, and athletes.
We hope you will help us reach one million books! You can get the live counter widget for your site and help us count the donations!
