But when she emerges from the gates for the first time, she is not afraid. She has with her a magical thread unraveled from a tiny cocoon that dropped into the Empress s teacup, and she knows it will lead her back to the palace garden. But she is very far from home when she notices that the thread has broken, and that she is lost. How will she find her way back? And will the secret of silk be lost forever? Award winner Charles Santore has taken an ancient Chinese legend and spun it into an original tale with an adventurous little main character for kids to identify with.

And yet... there was something so vivid in the telling that we were persuaded to send the journal and some of its boggling content for analysis. And only one conclusion could be drawn. Everything in the journal of Charlie Small is true! In his first adventure, Gorilla City, Charlie wrestles a deadly river croc, rides a steam-powered rhino, and becomes tribal chief in a city of gorillas.

Roshawn The importance of developing early literacy skills cannot be overstated: we know that our kids will do better in school and in life if they are given the opportunity to read and interact with books from a very early age. Because of First Book, millions of children in Head Start programs across the country experience the magic and wonder of reading everyday. Michael McGrady, Deputy Director, National Head Start Association The most important thing that can be done to improve the literacy rate in our country is to ensure that children have access to books. This is true simply because the only behavioral measure that correlates significantly with reading scores is the number of books in the home. Having age-appropriate books on shelves at home can dramatically change the course of an otherwise disadvantaged child s life. Since 1992, First Book has been placing brand-new books into the hands of children in need, profoundly impacting their lives. The First Book model was developed to leverage the work of local heroes who reach children through existing literacy programs in a variety of settings, such as Head Start centers, libraries, soup kitchens, churches, housing projects, and after-school initiatives. After receiving books from First Book, surveys verify that a child s interest in reading more than doubles, and that in turn they share that passion with others in their family. First Book has distributed 50 million books over the past 15 years, but that s only a start. Random House is making a significant, multiyear commitment to First Book because together, we have what it takes to make a real impact in our world. A $1.00 cash donation to First Book results in $10 worth of books directly to children in need.
