Please consider contributing to our book drive! 🙏
Old Fourth Ward Pediatrics gives young children a new children's book to keep at every well visit checkup. Parents are given resources and information on how to use books to help build their child's developing brain. Books, like mirrors, help reflect what we observe and know about the world we live in. Your gift today will ensure that more children begin life with books, stories shared, and early exposure to language

At Reach Out and Read Georgia, we believe all children should grow up learning a love of reading on the laps of people who love them. That’s why our doctors work with parents every day to demonstrate the value of reading aloud by prescribing reading as a daily activity.
