First Book Promotes Literacy!

First Book helps to provide new books to millions of children who would otherwise have few, if any.

Studies indicate that a child’s future reading success is strongly determined by the number of books in the home. Yet recent data reveals that in low-income neighborhoods, there is a shocking average of only one age-appropriate book for every 300 children. By improving access to books, First Book, helps ensure that all children, regardless of their economic situation, are equipped with the tools they need to succeed.

First Book has distributed more than 65 million books.

I, Danny Pettry, am a partner with First Book. I love what they’re doing to help children in need. My recent self-improvement book, Discover Hidden Secret Wisdom has the mission to encourage reading and literacy.

A portion of all the profits from Discover Hidden Secret Wisdom went to First Book.

I think wisdom for a better life is hidden in books. However, you must be an avid reader to discover these secrets. Mark Twain said, “The person who doesn’t read isn’t any better off than the person who can’t read.” I regret to hear that so many people, who can read, don’t. I think they’re missing a wonderful opportunity for self-improvement.
