For the last two years, Barnes & Noble and South Sound Reading Foundation in Olympia have selected me to shoot the photos for the promotional poster for the "Books by the Bay" fundraising and literacy promotion event.  South Sound Reading Foundation exists to ensure that every child is read with 20 minutes a day starting at birth. Reading just 20 minutes a day to young children is key to healthy brain development, family bonding, and success in school.  Daily family reading also helps children develop a larger vocabulary, a longer attention span, and better listening skills Thanks for Rhonda Munzinger of Barnes & Noble and Jennifer Williamson-Forster, Executive Director of South Sound Reading Foundation.
