One Book, Every Young Child
is Pennsylvania's first ever collaborative project using the vehicle of
"One Book, One State" program to highlight the importance of early
literacy development in preschoolers beginning in April, 2006. This
program has been developed by librarians and educators from across
Pennsylvania to promote the value and benefits of reading early and often
to preschoolers and to encourage family bonding through books and reading.
What a Treasure!, a picture book by
Jane and Will Hillenbrand for children ages 3 to 6, is Pennsylvania's One
Book, Every Young Child 2010 selection. Since the book was published
in 2006, children have been accompanying Mole on his dig as he discovers
exciting treasures for both his animal friends and for himself.
