Description

In this charming picture book, children and their caregivers work together to build home libraries and discover the magic and wonder of reading books.

Told in simple, sweet rhyme I'll Build You a Bookcase celebrates the joy of reading and discovering new stories.

Early literacy specialist Jean Ciborowski Fahey has crafted a story that celebrates literacy and inspires parents and caregivers to read to their child every day. Reading for even ten minutes a day has proven to build important language skills, curiosity and memory in young children, and encourages a positive association with books and reading later in life.

Coupled with charming and vibrant art by award-winning illustrator Simone Shin, I'll Build You a Bookcase makes a wonderful addition to every bookshelf.
