Love is in the air in February, and it’s the love of children and books that is fueling our Bring a Book, Bring a Friend® for Children’s Literacy Month! All Starbucks in Collier County are collecting books for K is for Kids® Foundation to distribute to those children in the community who need them most. Donate a book today: Together we’ll enrich children’s lives one book at a time!
FEBRUARY IS BRING A BOOK, BRING A FRIEND® FOR CHILDREN’S LITERACY MONTH! All Starbucks Coffee Houses in Collier County are collecting books for kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens. New & gently used books are welcome! This is the second year for the event sponsored by K is for Kids® Foundation. All books will be distributed to those children who are under-served within the community.
More events for children this month: Valentine’s Day we launched a preview of our book “Wishes, Dreams, Gifts & Things: A collection of very short stories by children.” Email us so you can have your special preview at [email protected].
Our Children’s Literacy Month culminates in our K is for Kids® Book Fair on SATURDAY, MARCH 6TH, 12 – 5 PM at Barnes & Noble, Waterside Shops, Naples.
LOTS OF FAMILY FUN ACTIVITIES ARE PLANNED FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES : Local guest authors will be on hand reading passages from and signing their books while encouraging children to write their own stories — because all kids will get the chance to become authors themselves by writing a page for our book, then have their portrait created by photographer Karen Walsh Haupt. Plus, there will be a scavenger hunt, face painting, balloon and more! Ring 239-961-8455 for more information.

They were previously featured in January’s issue of Life in Naples magazine also!
Spokespersons from our K is for Kids® Foundation’s Teen Advisory Team will be at the book fair to speak to and assist children and their families in all activities!
