Shirts That Speak Volumes
“Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.”
Do you remember when summer days stretched out before you? With your nose buried in a novel you soaked up the sun—before we knew, or cared, that it was so bad—or curled up in a bright corner of the couch. Those were the great days of endless nothing when a bookworm could count on quiet hours to indulge a favorite pastime.
The bibliophiles over at Out of Print know what we’re talking about. Those avid readers are celebrating the classics that moved generations beyond their own thoughts and lives and into new worlds and an expanded understanding. They’ve snagged iconic and often out-of-print book covers from the likes of Nancy Drew to Charlotte’s Web to Brave New World create a line of retro tees.
We love that we can outfit our kids, sizes 2-8 years, in comfy cotton shirts sporting the likes of The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Olivia and encourage their budding love for reading. Even better, for every product purchased, Out of Print donates one book to an African community in need through Books For Africa.
Now that’s an epilogue we can really appreciate!
Books For Africa is the world’s largest shipper of donated books to the African continent. Since 1988, they have shipped more than 26 million high-quality text and library books to children and adults in 46 African countries. Millions more are needed.
