Did The Cat in the Hat make you giggle and grin and recite the poem buried within?
Did you build your own treehouse after reading Robinson Crusoe?
Did you and your kids start your own Wimpy Kid book club around the dinner table?
We sure did!
Are you in?
Toddlers who are read to become children who love stories. Children who love stories learn to read and unleash their own imagination. Imagination is key for ingenuity and business success. Hundreds of research studies illustrate these truths.
We’re looking for 15 sponsors like you. You who remember giggling, climbing and telling your own stories. You can help us make sure every child attending Rotary Day has the opportunity to become part of a Guinness World Record-breaking event and leave with their own book.
