Summer Reading Program 2025
We gave away 125,000 books in May 2025!
Why did The Good and the Beautiful give away 125,000 books!?!
We want to share the joy of reading rich, uplifting books with children and families everywhere!
The Bible teaches us to seek things that are true, honest, pure, virtuous, and lovely (Philippians 4:8). This applies to all things, even books.
At The Good and the Beautiful, we encourage families to read books that model character growth and perseverance as well as respect and gratitude for parents, siblings, and teachers.
Thanks for participating in this year's Summer Reading Program!
