Children’s Author Series: Sparking a Love of Reading That Lasts a Lifetime

Every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading.

The Children’s Author Series brings that magic to life by connecting young readers with the authors behind their favorite stories, in schools, libraries, and community spaces across Fort Worth.

Through engaging visits, live readings, and playful experiences based on the Every Child Ready to Read method, this program builds essential early literacy skills and helps children gain confidence as they grow into strong, enthusiastic readers.

And it’s not just the authors who inspire the kids.

Life-sized characters like Pete the Cat, Paddington Bear, and others often make special appearances, bringing books to life in ways kids will never forget.

Whether it’s a child meeting their favorite author for the first time or discovering the joy of a storybook character walking into their library, the impact is powerful and lasting.

You’re not just giving a child a book. You’re giving them a sense of wonder, confidence, and a head start toward success. With your support, we’re helping children build a foundation for learning and a lifelong love of reading.
