Giving Thanks and Getting Ready!

by Ginger Young

Happy Thanksgiving! This week I feasted on turkey, pie, and lots and lots of books. I could not be more grateful for the wonderful stories that enrich me or for the community of literacy allies who surround me and lift me up all year long.

I am also deeply thankful this week for our friends at Education NC, who published a marvelous profile of our Book Babies program on November 20. It shares what we feel deeply in o

 1) you, the parents, are the experts;

2) we are here to support you on your journey;

3) your baby is capable of greatness; and

4) together we can make sure your child is kindergarten ready.

Read the entire piece (and take my pop quiz!) here.

Another thing I am thankful for is the News and Observer, which published a profile of Book Harvest in its annual Triangle Gives section on Thanksgiving Day. Thank you, N&O, for helping share our story!  Read the article here.

And now it is time to get ready for Giving Tuesday!  We have a very special surprise to share next Tuesday — stay tuned and be prepared to smile and laugh!
