Open a book and you open the world! The more children read, the more they develop fluency, widen their vocabulary, deepen their comprehension and expand imagination. Exposing young readers to a variety of literature—from adventures to mysteries to fairy tales to biographies or science fiction—is the best way to make children smarter! Celebrating books in a special way happens once a year during Children’s Book Week—a tradition that’s almost one hundred years old. See the magic of a real Disney artist, Grace Lee, who illustrated this year’s whimsical poster. Meet Jeff Kinney, author of a popular series of children’s books. Most of all, read about reading and why it matters. Then pick up a book and celebrate Children’s Book Week together!
