Join The "Read Together Be Together" Literacy Movement

READ TOGETHER, BE TOGETHER is a nationwide movement developed by Penguin Random House in partnership with Parents magazine that celebrates the importance, and power, of the shared reading experience between an adult and a child. Reading aloud regularly to babies and young children is one of the most effective ways to foster early literacy and is a key factor responsible for building language and social skills.

Book Hugs is a special program created by Story & Song Bookstore Bistro. You can nurture the young readers in your life by giving the gift of a wrapped book periodically. Complete the form here, and we'll take care of the rest.
