A recap of the event in numbers follows: 252 children came. 95 parents were interviewed. 3200 bookmarks were distributed through schools and childcare centers. 500 books were given away. Six authors and illustrators shared their personal stories and encouraged children to write. 16 different literacy lessons were taught. 112 parent education brochures distributed. Over 1,000 books collected through churches, businesses and schools.
