Join Kate in her monthly book pairing challenge, “Read with Kate.” Each month, Kate posts a new book pairing- one for kids to read and one for an adult to read. (Moms, dads, grandparents, teachers and kid caregivers are all welcome.) The books are related in theme or content, and offer the opportunity to connect with each other over the love of books! Each month, there will be a social media giveaway of the book pair - one for the kiddos and one for the mama or papa or granny or pop pop, or teacher (any adult who has a kid in their life, really.) Click here to receive the monthly book pairing release and get details on how to win the monthly giveaway. Click here to read the blog. Enter the monthly book giveaway each month for a new chance to win.
