“Everyone needs to become a good reader so that when they are an adult they will have a better life,” said 6-year-old Jade Vaughan-Bey during Book Harvest’s Dream Big book drive and community celebration held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day at Rhythms Live Music Hall in downtown Durham.

Hearing such wisdom from a young child brought a huge smile to the face of Book Harvest Founder Ginger Young who exclaimed enthusiastically, “Jade gets it — that’s what this program is all about!”
