Certified Great Read Application

The Reading With Your Kids Certified Great Read designation has been developed to acknowledge books and products that kids and parents will love to experience together. Placing a Reading With Your Kids Certified Great Read Seal Of Approval on your book or product tells parents, grandparents, educators, and caregivers they are giving their kids the very best.

“The Certified Great Read program has really given me more credibility as an author when I am pitching my book to stores, libraries and even media outlets”
