Hats off to Dr. Seuss at Childcare Resource Center

For many, March 2 was just another Monday. But for literature lovers, students across America and especially young ones at the Child Care Resource Center in San Bernardino, March 2 was a day for reading and celebrating what would have been the 111th birthday of a beloved children's rhyme writer, Dr. Seuss. "What better way than to have a celebration in his honor!" said Jaryn Gadea, a resource and referral specialist at the center. "While he is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in the pages of his books." Designated as "Read Across America Day," The National Education Association uses March 2 as a means to continue its work toward building a nation of readers through the program, now in it's 18th year. A year-round program, Read Across America focuses on motivating children and youth to read through events, partnerships and reading resources. To celebrate, Child Care Resource Center held a birthday party in their library, where children were accompanied by their parents, grandparents and child care providers to enjoy a day of crafts, stories and cupcakes for a few hours that morning. The event was "filled with the joyous sounds of children playing, repeating the silly lines from Dr. Seuss books, and having fun," said Gadea. Born March 2, 1904, Dr. Seuss, an American writer and cartoonist most widely known for his popular children's books, which he also illustrated. In his lifetime, he published 46 children's books, including several best-selling works like "Green Eggs and Ham," "The Cat in the Hat," "The Lorax," "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish," "Oh, the Places You'll Go," "Horton Hears a Who," and several more, with many of them spawning numerous film and television adaptations. Dr. Seuss passed away on Sept. 14, 1991. Read Across America Day continues to both honor his legacy and spark an early love of reading in youth across America.
