Read for the Record

Join us at the Children's Museum as we participate with others around the world to celebrate children's literacy. This year's book, Thank You, Omu!, tells the story of a generous elderly woman who makes a fantastic pot of thick red stew and shares it with the people in her community.

Storytime and activities begin at 11am!

Jumpstart’s Read for the Record brings together millions of adults and children around the world each year to read the same book on the same day in order to raise awareness about the critical importance of early literacy. This year, Jumpstart is celebrating our 14th anniversary of Read for the Record on November 7, 2019, with the book Thank You, Omu!
