Program Overview

We know early literacy and exposure to books is a predictor for future language and reading success. It teaches babies about communication, concepts such as colors, shapes, letters, and numbers, builds vocabulary and listening skills, and connects babies to their world. It also offers a chance for babies and families to bond. Book Babies aims to equip families with the resources they need to make daily shared reading part of their baby's hospital stay.

Cost Info

$10,000/year provides books, tote bags, and educational resources for every baby being cared for in our Congenital Heart Center.
