Brooklyn —
Jade Stebbins developed her love of books thanks to her mother – and Reading Is Fundamental (RIF).
“I love books because I like to read,” said Jade, 5, as she handed copies of “The Berenstain Bears” and “The Gingerbread Boy” to her mother, Jacqueline, at the Brooklyn Public Library branch in Gravesend.
But other children may not get the same head start as Jade.
