"Read Across America," the largest celebration of reading, has been taking place yearly all over our nation since March 2, 1998. It is celebrated on the beloved Dr. Seuss's birthday. This year the Seuss classic, Oh The Places You'll Go! will be read by educators, parents and many other folks from all walks of life.
I've always loved reading Dr. Seuss books to kids. The sentences, in rhyme and repetition, just seem to roll off your tongue. And those wonderful books help kids develop important language skills that lay the foundation for learning to read.
Research has shown that children who spend more time reading do better in school and become lifelong learners. Reading can take you so many places! For example, in my new release, Over on a Mountain, Somewhere in the World, you can visit mountain animals on every continent.
I'm so looking forward to introducing my rhyming picture book on this special day, March 2 at Barnes & Noble in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida from 5-7:30 p.m. and also sharing it at a Barnes & Noble book launch in Jensen Beach on Saturday morning, March 21 from 11:00-1:00 pm.
So if you live nearby in Florida, come join me as we "soar to great heights!"
