When his mother told him about the Canadian Children’s Literacy Foundation, Olivier immediately knew this was the organization he would choose. But he wanted to do more than just tell his classmates about CCLF: he wanted to help out.

This year, one Early Words clinic wanted to give back to the program to show their gratitude for it. For nearly four years, @CedarGrovePeds has seen the program’s impact firsthand. That’s why the clinic decided to donate 10% of their Early Words book costs from their overhead.
