Read With Kids! Are you up for the challenge?

Children's Book Press has long admired the work of Reading is Fundamental (RIF), and we're excited to spread the word about their latest effort to encourage kids and adults to read together. Join RIF's Read With Kids Challenge by simply signing up with an "honorary team", pick your favorite CBP book (or any other book!), and start reading with kids - just be sure to record your minutes. RIF's goal is to log 5 million minutes of reading time, and we want to help them get there. You can even sign up to join one of the teams headed by a Children's Book Press author or illustrator -- authors Uma Krishnaswami and Amada Irma Pérez, and artist Maya Christina Gonzalez have all signed up to be honorary team captains.
