NEW YORK CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, December 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Since 2008, the Children’s Book Council has managed Every Child a Reader, an award-winning charity that has supplied millions of young people, teachers, librarians, and parents with original and engaging programming and educational materials that entertain and inform – all for free!

We are only able to do this thanks to a generous group of family foundation grant and individual donors.

This Giving Tuesday and National Giving Month, we ask that you learn more about our work. We are a 501(c)(3) charity that has garnered a GuideStar Platinum level non-profit rating, a grant from the National Book Foundation as an essential literacy charity, and an Eric Carle Honors Angel Award.
