A quote from a young mother who received our Books for Babies packet in the hospital highlights one of Read to Grow's goals: “ My daughter really enjoys books and the more I read to her, the more she tries to talk. Until I read your info packet I didn’t know how important reading to a baby really is.”
"I am a second grade teacher. I often send my personal library collection home with students to borrow because they do not have any books at home. I reinforce, daily, how important it is to practice our reading skills everyday so we have the opportunity to be a successful and educated member to society." ~a Hartford teacher
"What an extraordinary thing [Read to Grow is] doing…giving children a chance for their brains to develop so whatever genius is there will come out and give them the ability to live a good life.” ~Alan Alda, addressing attendees at Read to Grow's Hartford luncheon, 2007
