The mission of Governor's Books from Birth Foundation (GBBF) is to promote early childhood literacy in Tennessee's birth to age five population. In partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, GBBF gives all preschoolers in Tennessee the opportunity to receive books in the mail at no cost to families. Our vision is a Tennessee where all preschool children have books in their homes, develop a love of reading and learning, and begin school prepared to succeed, from kindergarten throughout their educational journeys.
Amazing I dolly!
36 million books to children 5 and under in TN #booksfrombirth #imaginationlibrary #dollyparton #tennessee #reading #literacy #children #memphis #901
@TalkWithMeBaby says>> A solid foundation of language nutrition - the use of language, beginning at birth, that is sufficiently rich in engagement, quality, quantity and context that it nourishes the child socially, neurologically and linguistically - is critical in developing a child’s capacity to learn. Research demonstrates that the single strongest predictor of a child's academic success is not socioeconomic status, level of parental education, income or ethnicity, but rather the quality and quantity of words spoken to the baby in the first three years of life.

"Peace is an Offering" by Annette LeBox is a book about all the ways we can find peace in our communities through small acts of kindness— from offering ‘a muffin or a peach,' to a ‘kiss on the cheek.’ The poetic text and beautiful illustrations by Stephanie Graegin show us that peace is all around, if you just look for it. Check out some reading activities to go along with this book on our website.

Camille & I joined Dolly Parton's Imagination Library & we've just received our first book!
What is the Imagination Library?! Dolly Parton started a book gifting program for her home county back in the 90s & it was such a hit that it's now worldwide.
Camille will receive an age appropriate book every month until she starts school...for free!! All I had to do was sign up to be approved by our local affiliate...the DC Public Library. Easy peasy.
I'd highly recommend it for everyone out there with little ones. It's never too early to start reading & you can never have enough books! #ImaginationLibrary #MomaFind #ReadingWithMom
"I Just Want to Say Good Night" by Rachel Isadora is the perfect bedtime story! Before bed, Lala first needs to say good night to the cat, the goat, the chickens and more before she's ready to say goodbye to the day! To whom does your little one say good night? .
