DEAR BOOKFRIENDS:HARVEST
“Books are good for you.”
These five words from seven-year-old Yuriko were my favorite of 2023. And they get better still.
Yuriko went on to say,
“If some words you don’t know, you can learn those words so you can be a better reader…if you’re a better reader, you can read all of the books that there is in the world. I’ll read a thousand books!”
Listen to what Yuriko, Ari, Duncan, PJ, and Josephine say about reading here:
This is the WHY behind our hopes and dreams for the world we imagine: one in which Yuriko – and every baby and child – is equipped, starting at birth, to learn words, practice reading, fall in love with books – indeed, to read a thousand books if they wish.
2023 was a year of new horizons for Book Harvest.
New Horizon: Durham, City of Books
Under the able and visionary leadership of Book Harvest Durham Executive Director Tabitha Blackwell, we showed up more than ever before for Durham’s children and families – always with an abundance of excellent books for children and families to harvest. Durham is our very own City of Books!
New Horizon: Beyond Durham
In locations beyond our home community, we seeded new programs, developed new partnerships, and learned so much about how to take the exemplary programs built in Durham to new communities, both urban and rural.
New Horizon: Advocacy and Policy Influence
In a thrilling addition to our portfolio, we launched the work to advocate for children’s literacy and to improve the systems that have an impact on babies, children, and families.
To top it off, in 2023 first grader Lucy harvested the two millionth Book Harvest book to take home and keep forever (see page 4)! At this writing, children have joyfully harvested more than 2.2 million Book Harvest books, building home libraries.
It is an honor and a privilege to move toward these new horizons alongside so many parents, children, community partners, donors, volunteers – and you. Together, we remain committed to our unwavering mission: books for every child, support for every parent, and literacy for every community.
This is our time. The need is clear. Yuriko and so many other young readers are counting on us. And new horizons await. Let’s go.
With gratitude and in partnership,
Ginger Young Founder and CEO
