Did you know that every child in Missouri is eligible to receive a FREE BOOK every month until their 5th birthday?
Since November of 2023, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has provided the funds to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Missouri.
Inspire a Love of Reading
The first book your child will receive is “The Little Engine That Could” by Watty Piper. And, the month a child turns 5, they will receive “Look Out Kindergarten, Here I Come!” by Nancy Carlson.
My daughter loves receiving her book each month. I point out her name on the address label and explain the book was picked out just for her. She wants me to read the book immediately and at least twice! I love these moments. She is so excited to open something that is just for her! Plus, the books are sturdy and well-made, allowing us to enjoy them over and over.
