READ ACROSS AMERICA POEM
You're never too old, too wacky, too wild,To pick up a book and read with a child.
You're never too busy, too cool, or too hot,
To pick up a book and share what you've got.
In schools and communities,
Let's gather around,
Let's pick up a book,
Let's pass it around.
HIT Read More for the rest of the poem and some other great resources for your LC Read Across America planned or impromtu event.
There are kids all around you,
Kids who will need
Someone to hug,
Someone to read.
Come join us March 2nd
Your own special way
And make this America's
Read to Kids Day.
