We attended a fundraiser for Tree House Books at WHYY in Philadelphia.

Tree House Books is a non-profit organization located in North Central Philadelphia. They have a variety of programs all centered around reading, art and literacy. It’s a warm and inviting place where kids can go after school to express themselves creatively through reading and writing. In addition, they provide homework help and the kids even get to publish their own magazine. Executive Director Vashti Du Bois, Program Coordinator Michael Reid and After School Manager Lauren Macaluso, work hard to make sure the center runs smoothly.  Make a donation or volunteer; it’s a great place.  If you are interested in supporting Tree House Books contact them at  info@treehousebooks.org or for more information call 215-236-1760.

“Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.”
