You’re off to great places, today is your day. Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!”

Dr. Seuss Day is a holiday that celebrates the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel - otherwise known by the pen name by which he authored children’s books: Dr. Seuss. During the 1990s, the National Education Association advocated for a day to celebrate reading all over the United States. In 1998, it started Read Across America and decided to hold it on the same day as Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

‘The more you read, the more things you’ll know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go!’
