This year's Broward: Read for the Record Day is October 24, 2024.

This year, we are reading Piper Chen by Phillippa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran and illustrated by Qin Leng. 

Join over 2 million readers and thousands of schools, libraries, and community organizations that will celebrate early literacy by reading this empowering story of self-expression, overcoming self-doubt, and the ways family relationships can support us.
