🧶Are you a knitter or would you like to learn? Are you someone who cares about the reading lives of children? Join us Family Literacy Day (Jan. 27) for Left Unread’s first Pink Hat Knit-along! 💖📖
This project is inspired by the picture book ‘The Pink Hat,’ which closes with an uplifting march of neighbours in pink hats. Pink is the colour of Left Unread, a movement that champions each child’s #RightToRead along with local organizations. 💞
Won’t you join us & help ensure no child in Calgary is #LeftUnread?
