A committee comprised of librarians and library staff from across the state, and the State Librarian of Kansas, Ray C. Walling, are pleased to announce the selected title for this year’s Kansas Reads to Preschoolers program. This year’s selection is “My Heart Fills With Happiness,” a heartwarming picture book written by Monique Gray Smith and beautifully illustrated by Julie Flett. Kansas Reads to Preschoolers is an annual initiative that promotes the joy of reading to Kansans under five. The program encourages caregivers, librarians, and public figures across the state to read the selected title during the month of November, fostering a love for reading in young minds.
