Books Harvested by Children to Date
The Opportunity
Eighty percent of brain development happens in the first three years of life. Imagine the possibilities for all children when they grow up surrounded by books and stories, words and ideas — starting at birth.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Our Response
We nourish young brains by filling their worlds with an abundance of books. And we partner with parents from the time their children are born, to ensure that parents are equipped with everything they need to help their children thrive.
It’s a response that fuels imagination
and sparks joy.
Our Impact
More than 1,400,000 Book Harvest books have been harvested by children and families since 2011. Books: the catalyst for cozy bedtime stories and robust vocabularies, the fuel for empathy, curiosity, and creativity – and, most of all, the foundation for a lifelong love of reading.
It’s an impact that is transforming lives, child by child and book by book.
