"My own pediatrician gave me comic books at every visit and I couldn’t wait to go to the doctor and get that book. How great for all of our children and their parents to learn from their pediatric providers that beautiful books and reading are an important part of growing up and future success."

"I had one child, just one year old, and when I gave her the book, the mom was so excited. She said, ‘This is her first book!’"

"Just today, my client (4yrs, 9mos), his name is Jacob, and this is the first time we’ve ever seen him. He transferred from Colorado Springs. I told him I could give him a book and showed him a few different ones. He looked at me and said, 'Well, you know I don’t know how to read yet.' SOOOO cute! I told him he could make up his own story based on the pictures or ask his brothers and sister to help him read it."
