The first five years aren't just cute, they're critical.
About 90% of a child's brain development happens before age five. The books you put in front of them now are literally shaping how their brain builds language, memory, and thinking skills for life.
Kids who are read to at least three times a week are twice as likely to recognize letters and understand words in context, compared to kids who aren't.
Daily reading from birth builds bigger vocabularies and stronger comprehension well before kindergarten even starts.
Nationally, less than half of children under five are read to every day.
That gap is exactly why we do what we do! We’re making great books easy to find, easy to afford, and easy to fall in love with, right here in our Peterborough and Kawartha Lakes community.
