Today, books can be found in bookstores, libraries, schools, online, on tape, on video, through book clubs, at book fairs, at home, at work, in waiting rooms and even in the hands of avid readers. Literacy advocates work diligently to insure that all children have access to books and many children receive their first book at birth. Still, some children yearn to have their very own book. Efforts should continue worldwide to meet this challenge with more books for more children.

However, the true challenge in literacy is much more personal and engaging than just giving books to children. It is the actions and interactions about and with books, such as shared reading time, talking about favorite books, and simply taking time to read.

How do you share the wonder, excitement, enjoyment and love of reading every day?
