Birthday without Pressure

It's a new trend - heard on National Public Radio

Want another way to support early literacy? Throw a birthday party (or Baby Naming, Bar/ Bat Mitzvah, graduation celebration) and invite the guests to bring new books to donate to READ! 365, local childcare centers or hospitals....be even more specific and identify an author, a title or category (board books, picture books, chapter books) or make a donation to your favorite charity....Also visit birthdayswithoutpressure.org for more ideas.
