We created the DoSayGive Summer Book Club eight years ago with a simple mission: to help families discover the kind of children’s books that nourish young hearts and minds. The kinds of books that spark imagination, cultivate curiosity and virtue, and slow children down long enough to wonder, dream, and fall in love with reading.
