PA One Book, Every Young Child
The Pennsylvania One Book initiative is a valuable program that highlights the importance of early literacy development in preschoolers and the significance of reading early and often to children, as well as engaging them in conversation and other activities around books. The program has remained successful in part due to the partnership of collaborating agencies that all support early childhood literacy efforts. Each year, a different children’s picture book is chosen by the committee to be highlighted.
The PA One Book Committee is delighted to announce that the 2026 PA One Book selection is The Great Cookie Kerfuffle, written by Jessica Shaw and illustrated by Pauline Gregory.
From the publisher: A friendly little farm breaks into chaos as increasing numbers of farm animals fight over a dropped cookie, until there’s trouble overhead! United against a common enemy, the animals learn that friendship and taking care of each other is more important than winning a fight.
Activities and more information coming soon!
