A Virtual Event
COVID-19 has changed everything about how our nation’s youngest children are
reading and learning this year. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to ensuring
that preschool-aged children aren’t left behind and that they have a positive and
healthy foundation for literacy.
Books for Kids will be holding the inaugural Heroes of Education Event on April 13, 2021.
This virtual event will honor and recognize educators who have continued to
educate and inspire despite the challenges of the COVID pandemic, as well as those who have improved the landscape of early childhood through their work.
