Cosmo Cares teamed up with Chase Books at Belmont Charter School for a buddy reading program and book giveaway. The 7th graders spent time helping the 1st graders to read “Chase and the Case of the Missing Jersey” by Cousin John. Having access to bools is key for growth and so is being a role model for the young generations.
“We are grateful to be a part of such a wonderful group” stated Morgan DeNicola, Executive Director of the DeNicola Family Foundation.
John Butler, known as Cousin John, is a sports journalist and educator who has turned his passion for writing into a series of children’s books. The Chase Books are filled with adventure and feature African American characters that teach children valuable life lessons.
John’s mission is to introduce young readers to the world of literacy and give them stories and characters they can relate to. On behalf of the DeNicola Family Foundation each child received a signed book to take home. You can purchase Cousin John’s books from his website www.chasebooks.com or on Amazon.
“Nothing puts a smile on a child’s face like a great story time stated John Butler, Author of Chase Books. Thank you, Cosmo Cares, for making today’s story time possible.
