Every reader remembers a book that changed something. The first story that sparked curiosity. The first character who felt like a friend. The first book that made the world feel bigger. Today, millions of children are still waiting for that experience. I’m supporting @RoomtoRead’s #MakeRoomtoRead campaign to help put books into children’s hands and create opportunities that can last a lifetime. If you’re able, please join me by making a gift. Just $1 can put a brand-new book in the hands of a child waiting to turn their first page. Together, we can make room for more first pages, first stories and first dreams. ➡ roomtoread.org/make-room
