If you have never heard of the Imagination Library and have kids under the age of five I encourage you to check it out. It's an amazing organization founded by Dolly Parton. The basics of the program is from birth to age five when you register your child you child will get sent a free book every month until the age of five. How can you not love that. If your kids are anything like my daughter they will love getting mail and love that it's a book. I bring all of this up because in the mail yesterday was her newest book from Imagination Library. They pick books pertaining to the child's age so you do not have to worry about getting complicated books for your younger child. When our book for the month arrives in the mail we spend the rest of the day, and usually a few days following reading it over and over again.
I was lucky enough to have this program pointed out to me by a really great friend. So now I want to share it with everyone. If you have kids under the age of five or are still pregnant please check this organization out. Just visit their website at www.imaginationlibrary.com. You will have to see if they have one in your area. Usually it is sponsored by another organization in your town. For Grand Forks, our United Way is the sponsor and sends the books out. If you find you do not have an Imagination Library base in your town I am sure the website will advise you on how to get one. It is a wonderful program and I am thankful my friend mentioned it to me when it came to Grand Forks.
Here's to many more books in the mail and lots of reading!
