"I believe life is made of stories.  The simple act of reading to a child gives us the ability to uphold the single greatest responsibility we have, which is to pass on our knowledge to the next generation so that together, we can build a better future. It doesn't take much, but it’s so very important to the lives of our kids." 
- Gov. O'Malley
