With "Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum" Author Lisa Wheeler [https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/MILOM/2015/01/41711...] 2017 Tour Requests for MI Reads Author Now Open to Public Libraries [BGBG Book Cover]Michigan Reads! is an early literacy program designed to highlight the importance of reading and sharing books with children, especially toddlers through early elementary school age, which is a critical developmental time. Early literacy skills lay the foundation for reading and school success. Michigan Reads! also raises awareness of the intergenerational nature of literacy and engages the community of parents, caregivers, librarians and teachers to make fluent reading possible in all communities. For the 2017 program, the Library of Michigan has selected Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum by Lisa Wheeler as the featured book. During the winter months, the Library will distribute nearly 7,000 reading kits to classrooms and libraries. Lisa Wheeler will visit schools and libraries throughout the state this March, coordinated through the public libraries.
