September 8 is International Literacy Day, a day celebrated for over 40 years to remind us that literacy is one of the most important tools of empowerment for all people. In other words, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go” (Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!). Celebrate International Literacy Day and encourage a love of reading in your kids by reading a book with them and creating a bookworm to show off how many books you’ve read together!
