Free books for your child thanks to Dolly Parton

I just came across this article about an organization Dolly Parton founded that will send your child a book a month for 5 years. That's 60 free books for your child. 

She does this because there were 0 books in her house when she was growing up. In fact her father couldn't read and 

"Research shows that kids who just have books in their house (regardless of nationality, level of education, or socioeconomic status of the parents) reach a higher level of education than kids who grew up in homes without books."

Read the article here.  

I do not have a young child to sign up, but this is where you'd do it. Let me know if it works and if there are age requirements.

Happy Reading!
