Great Books for Kids

🦕 Recently, we gifted all the kindergarten students at Woodbine Elementary School and Mamie Lou Gross Elementary School the book The Dinosaurs Who Loved Applause. The books are theirs to take home & keep forever!

Mrs. Beam at Woodbine Elementary saved them for a bit, then passed them out to use with their dinosaur unit. I love it!! 🦖

THANK YOU to the Okefenoke REMC Foundation for making this book donation possible via your generous grant! 💗

📘 The Book Without Story is a fantastic read aloud! Recently, over 200 kindergartners received a hardcover copy to keep thanks to our amazing community partners:

• Goodyear Elementary School was supported by a grant from Golden Isles Rotary Club.

• Mamie Lou Gross Elementary School & Woodbine Elementary School were supported by a grant from the Okefenoke REMC Foundation.

All in all, over $2600 in books were gifted to local children that day. We heard they are loving the steady stream of books they have received this year so far. Excitement about books & reading?? YES, PLEASE! That’s what this is all about. 📖

On Tuesday, Great Books for Kids held its April Story Time and Craft event at the Woodbine Public Library. I read Build Me a Home & gifted a hardcover copy of the book to every child who attended, some who are pictured here.

Thank you to our sponsor, Altamaha River Trading Company, whose generous donation enabled us to purchase the books!!

Then we completed a home design activity while we ate Rice Krispie treats.

Join us for our next Story Time & Craft event on May 19 - same time & place! 💗📖

After their recent renovations with a coastal theme, we thought of the perfect books to gift to their new kids reading corner - from beautifully illustrated story books to engaging nonfiction pop-up books & books with flaps! 🐬🐠🐙

At your next appointment, be sure to check out these amazing books!

At the beginning of the month, we dropped off our final book to the Goodyear Elementary School Kindergartners that we purchased using a grant from our amazing community partner, hello Goodbuy! 📖

We sure do love Ms. Laura Herrington, who tells us the kids are LOVING their new book every month. She gave us a huge batch of handmade thank you cards for the last book we dropped off! They mean the absolute world to Logan & me, and we read each one. 🥹

Thank you to hello, Goodbuy for their support, which allowed us to gift 4 books to every Kindergarten student for his/her home. We deeply appreciate you!!! 🙏🏻💗
