    Congratulations to the First Book Team. Our program has been a recipient of books for a number of years and it does make a difference to the children.

    Thanks to everyone for all the kind words. First Book is a team effort: without supporters and donors and teachers and publishers and community leaders, we wouldn’t have lasted a year.
