Whether it’s Pete the Cat or the playbook, building strong readers starts by making reading something kids 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 to do. 🏈📖

And when young people see their role models picking up a book, laughing along with a story and showing them that reading can be fun, it sends a powerful message: 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲.

DJ knows a thing or two about leading by example. 😉🤘 Every story shared is another chance to spark curiosity, build confidence and help a young reader discover a lifelong love of books.

𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘 is the why behind the work we do. It’s creating opportunities for young people to discover the power of reading, supporting the educators who pour into them, strengthening families, and being a force for good in our communities. 📚🧡
