In this episode, we talk with Amy Priour who is the Partner Development Coordinator for Ferst Readers.

Ferst Readers wants every child to have the best start in life - and nothing helps a baby's brain develop more than exposure to rich language and loving interactions. This program allows for all children under the age of 5 in Dallas, Kaufman, Rockwall, and Collin counties to receive a free book each month. These books are delivered directly to the child’s home.
