Vermont author David Martin recently visited
Laraway Youth & Family Services (Laraway) to read some of his books aloud
to students. His visit was supported by a Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF)
Summer Readers Grant. Martin’s lively presentation was followed by a generous
book giveaway of brand-new children’s books.
Martin, author of a slew of books for
children, including Shh! Bear Sleeping,
enchanted his audience with his dramatic reading style and a little bit of
juggling.
“CLiF’s presentation was awesome,” said
Adria Dube, Operations Manager for Laraway’s Backpack Program.
CLiF’s Summer Readers Grant helps keep
kids reading during the summer. As part
of the grant, each child present chose two books which they read and keep.
Laraway is delighted to work with CLiF to foster a love of reading.
CLiF is an independent non-profit
organization founded in 1998. Its mission is to nurture a love of reading and
writing among low-income, at-risk, and rural children in New Hampshire and
Vermont. Over 18 years, CLiF has inspired 180,000 young readers and
writers through literacy program grants and has given away more than
$4 million in new, high-quality children’s books. For more
