NEA’s Read Across America Poem

 
You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild
To pick up a book to read with a child.
You’re never too busy, too cool, or too hot,
To pick up a book and share what you’ve got.
In schools and communities,
Let’s gather around,
Let’s pick up a book,
Let’s pass it around.
There are kids all around you,
Kids who will need
Someone to hug,
Someone to read.
Come join us March 8
Your own special way
And make this America’s
Read to Kids Day.
