As the year winds down, we're getting cozy with the books that made us happy this year, starting with the best-selling, must-read picture book “Don’t Trust Fish” by author Neil Sharpson and illustrator Dan Santat.

This nature-guide-gone-wrong is a laugh-out-loud introduction to the seemingly innocent animals that live in the water — but who really knows what they're plotting where we can't see them?

On #GivingTuesday, we're asking you to help make a difference in the lives of children who face all kinds of uncertainty in these challenging times. Books serve as a respite, a gift, a way to make sense of a world that doesn’t always make sense to kids—and a foundation of early reading equips a child with skills, inspiration, and creative energy to support success throughout their entire life.

With your help, we put more than 140,000 free books annually into the hands of children who need them. Gifts of any size matter to our small-but-mighty organization, enabling us to continue our work for years to come.
