Across the world today people are celebrating literacy. We try to do that every day, through the books we publish and distribute, the teachers and administrators and librarians we support, and the parents and families we love.

The employees who make Scholastic what it is wanted to remind you that we, too, are as obsessed with books and literacy as you are. Scholastic Book Clubs spent the summer interviewing employees about the books that made us the readers that we are. Take a look — and share your own book in the comments. (And see if you can spot the OOMers!)
