Madam Speaker, I am proud to rise in recognition of a literacy project called “Books for Children and Families”. This limited edition collection of eight books was developed by the University of New Brunswick Early Childhood Centre in collaboration with New Brunswick Early Interventionalists and Family Resource Centres and the National Literacy Secretariat.
The collection strives to honour diverse family circumstances and is intended for pre-school children and their parents as they share and learn together.
The books were written and illustrated by accomplished New Brunswick authors and artists. This collection makes a great gift for young constituents and for the schools, day cares and hospitals that I visit in my riding.
I encourage each and every member of Parliament to purchase several copies of “Books for Children and Families”.
