Kids Need Books Of All Kinds
> Blog > Kids Need Books Of All Kinds Thanks to Jarrett Lerner, author and illustrator, and supporters like you, thousands of kids in low-income communities across the country are receiving new books and resources from First Book.
Lerner is encouraging all to wear their hearts on their sleeves, with a custom designed T-shirt that features the phrase, “Kids Need Books of All Kinds.” Best of all, the shirt helps support First Book’s mission to make that statement a reality for kids in need.
We’re thrilled to see all who are going back to school in style, by showing off their new shirts and their support to help get new books to kids. If you ordered a shirt, we’d love to see it! Post a photo and tag First Book (@FirstBook on Twitter and @FirstBookOrg on Instagram) and @JarrettLerner with the hasthag #ShowMeYourShirt, and you’ll be entered to win books and custom art from Lerner.
It’s hard for us to choose which posted pictures are our favorites. Click here to see every #ShowMeYourShirt post!
