This week we’re celebrating the launch of our new book Now You’re Thinking! with a huge charitable event to support children’s literacy, critical thinking, and 3 phenomenal nonprofit organizations. As we wrote last week, reading to your children is one of the most important ways to help them build critical thinking skills.
Our goal is to give away 30,000 children’s books to military charities, and we need your help!
From September 12 through September 30, each time you read a free online children’s book at http://wegivebooks.org/nyt your efforts will help give a free hardcover or paperback book to one of three great nonprofits that support U.S. military families year round (Pat Tillman Foundation, The Mission Continues, and United Through Reading).
Here’s how to participate!
1. Visit the Now You’re Thinking! campaign at We Give Books between September 12 and September 30.
2. Log in either through Facebook or Sign Up with a new free account.
3. Choose a book to read online. There are several books to choose from for various ages and interests.
4) After reading the book online to your child, choose “Give Book” and then We Give Books and Now You’re Thinking! will donate a hardback or paperback book on your behalf to either United Through Reading, The Pat Tillman Foundation, or The Mission Continues.
That’s it! That’s all you have to do to help We Give Books and Now You’re Thinking! give away 30,000 books to children in need.
Together, we can celebrate the direct link between critical thinking and success and be catalysts in a movement that encourages healthy and productive ways of thought all over the world.
Think. Read. Give!

As a military wife and mother, I want to thank you for your support of military families. My husband is currently in Afghanistan and one of his passions over the last two years has been literacy. He has single handedly made a difference in thousands of lives in that country, as I am sure you and your colleagues will do with this effort. Thank you for what you are doing.

Kathy-
First, we have so much admiration not only for your children and husband, but also for you. We know how difficult it is to have your loved ones thousands of miles away on a mission to protect our freedoms. Thank you! One of the main reasons why the authors wrote “Now You’re Thinking!” was to tell one of the positive stories that happen during battle. We know that our soldiers are helping as many people as possible while they’re overseas, but those stories rarely get the coverage that they should receive.
We would love to learn more about your husband’s efforts in Afghanistan. We’re inspired by heroes like him who go beyond the mission to make a difference in the lives of others. Would you be open to sharing his story for a blog post honoring his hard work? If so, email me at breannepotter@gmail.com.
Again, thank you so much!
