Join our Read It Forward Movement
First of all, thank you for purchasing My Shorts and thus joining our efforts to Read It Forward Children’s Literacy movement. We hope the book brings you laughter, reflection and some added joy knowing your purchase supports childhood literacy in a very special way. We are passionate about being catalysts in supporting children’s literacy and schools in need. Our goal is to channel 25 percent of the proceeds from each sale to First Book, an organization that makes brand-new, high-quality books and resources free or very affordable to the educators and children who need them most. You can read more about First Book at www.firstbook.org. If you wish to go beyond and support this impactful organization through your own donation, please check out our My Shorts First Book campaign page.
