My amazing team is collaborating on a tremendous literacy project to bless 600 foster kids around the country each with a $50 book shopping spree for the holidays. Because of Usborne Books & More's 50% match, it's only $35 to sponsor one kiddo. This holiday season, we're putting beautiful, engaging, comforting, age-appropriate Usborne and Kane Miller books in their deserving hands. ❤️
