"A child’s “first book” is not necessarily their first reading experience – it is that first book that they connect with - one which sets them on a lifelong path of learning and inspiration. When you give a child a great book, you are giving them the opportunity to unlock their own story.” 

- Heather Farquharson, Executive Director
