Books for a Better World

Donalyn Miller

#Bookaday Pledge

I believe that literacy is vital to ensure the prosperity of our

citizens and the strength of our democracy. I also know

reading offers validation for our experiences and fosters

empathy and awareness of others who have different

experiences than ours. In light of these beliefs, I have

decided to expand my #bookaday and ongoing book

donation efforts to include donating at least one book every

day that reflects the diversity of our global family.

“Reading changes your life. Reading

unlocks worlds unknown or forgotten, taking

travelers around the world and through time.

Reading helps you escape the confines of

school and pursue your own education.

Through characters – the saints and the

sinners, real or imagined – reading shows

you how to be a better human being.”

- Donalyn Miller, The Book Whisperer, 2009
