Our goal is to provide an experience that, with book in hand and gentle encouragement from the children, will continue as a regular happening in their homes. The group is seeking new or slightly used book donations to distribute to more than 150 metro Detroit preschoolers participating in the program. He wrote 47 books, including the popular The Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. About 100 million copies have been sold in 18 languages. Impact members hope to inspire young ones by reading donated books to preschoolers at Starfish Family Center in Inkster and Peggy's Place in Detroit from 9 am to noon.
People can help a child by simply dropping off a book.
