Reading is an essential and valuable resource for children, and Charities Readers For Tomorrow hopes to bring that resource to children who may not have access to it. Some of you may wonder why reading and books are so important. To help you understand the value of reading, here are five ways it can benefit children.

The countdown is on — we’re just 3 days away from our very first community fundraiser with Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers! 🎉

In today’s world, it’s more important than ever to teach children about kindness, empathy, and inclusion—especially in the classroom. Stories have the power to open hearts, spark meaningful conversations, and remind every child that they belong.

I had always been a kid who loved to read; the worlds within were always so different and so special. My favorite kinds of books for quite some time were those that focused on animals. Getting to see through their eyes or experience them in ways you couldn't in the real world always seemed so magical, especially when it was through the eyes of an animal I didn't see very often.

We’re here to inspire a love for reading, create spaces where every child feels seen in the stories they read, and spread kindness and inclusion through literature. And now, we’re officially equipped to do just that!

Books that center kindness, courage, empathy, and self-worth don’t just entertain — they empower. They teach children how to treat others, how to love themselves, and how to be part of a more compassionate world. Through every story we share and every book we donate, we’re helping to build a culture of inclusion — where no child feels like an outsider.

At Charity’s Readers, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued — especially in the stories they read.

We believe books aren’t just books — they’re launchpads. They build confidence, spark imagination, and show children that they matter.
