Children's book "I Told You I Can Play" encouraging youth!

Youth reader, Nathanel James read Brian Jordan's debut children's book titled "I Told You I Can Play". Nathanel reached out to Mr. Jordan through the above letter.

Studies performed in the spring of 2000, found that children who were read to at least three times a week by a family member were almost twice as likely to score in the top 25% in reading than children who were read to less than 3 times a week according to the National Institute for Literacy. Find time for reading, it's fun, and it makes a difference!
