In the message, which went out today to First Book supporters,Willems asks recipients to donate money to the charity. “My family and I have been proud supporters of First Book for many years,” reads the email. “Now we’re asking you to join us to get as many books in as many hands as possible by matching your donations, dollar for dollar, up to 50,000 smackers. The importance of books in the home cannot be overstated. A book is more than a gateway to a brighter future — it is a friend right now.”
