Would your family like to give back just by reading?
Join mothers and sisters Author Rebecca P. Cohen and Illustrator Marni Penning Coleman in this wonderful new program of giving back...
...and share the joy of reading with your little explorers ages 2-8, encouraging their imagination and learning about the world with PJ!
When you gather nine families to order books, $1 from every book sold will go to the Tererai Trent International Foundation (TTI) and the 12 schools and over 6,000 students TTI supports.
Author Rebecca P. Cohen just returned from rural Zimbabwe with her mother and son, where she read PJ’s Backyard Adventures to over 200 4, 5, and 6 year olds at Matau and Musukwi Primary Schools. She saw the incredible work being done by TTI and the incredible need.
For example, nine schools have no water, and the children are thirsty all day. By reading with PJ, you and your child will be giving back to help children in need who are also reading PJ’s Backyard Adventures in Zimbabwe.
