Annual event in Highland Park, Michigan…
This fun-filled event is designed to nurture literacy learning by rewarding children for reading aloud to volunteer listeners. Children select from an array of books to read in order to earn tickets for activities such as pony rides, video game van, facepainting, petting zoo, train ride, and arts and crafts. Authors and storytellers participate to help highlight the power of stories and the importance of reading. A huge book giveaway is also part of this daylong family activity, which is held annually each summer.
