READ IT FORWARD
Kate was committed to sharing smiles and joy through the love of reading. To honor Kate, we'd like to encourage those connections between parents and children. We welcome you to explore the works of some of Kate's favorite authors, books and organizations. If you'd like to share some of your own loves, along with images of you and your children reading on social media, consider using hashtag #katedopirak. Thanks!
