Read to Babies
Building Bright Futures, One Book at a Time
Why Give Books to Babies?
Reading to babies isn’t just about fun—it’s about building their future. Even from birth, hearing words helps babies develop language skills, spark curiosity, and create a strong foundation for learning. Books provide a way for parents to bond with their little ones, while also introducing them to the rhythm and sounds of language. Giving books to babies ensures they have the tools they need to grow into confident, curious learners.
The Power of Early Reading
The early years of life are critical for brain development. Regular exposure to books gives babies the chance to absorb language, explore new ideas, and begin recognizing patterns in the world around them. By reading daily, parents can instill a love of stories while helping their child develop the skills they’ll need to communicate and understand the world.
Who Doesn't Love Fan Mail?
“We love our books from Miss Dolly’s library. My little would flip to the back cover of each new book, find Miss Dolly’s picture, give her a kiss and say “thank you Miss Dolly for my new book! I love Miss Dolly!” Followed by a huge hug for the book. We’ve aged out now but we treasure those books.” ”I am a new pediatrician in Cottonwood. I am happy to say my clinic at the Community Health Center of Yavapai has this in place and I recommend it to my patients every day, in addition to enjoying the wonderful books with my own two little ones. Thank you so much for helping provide this wonderful service.”
