鈥淚n the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.鈥� -Mortimer J. Adler
The impact of a book that speaks to us regardless of time or life circumstance is golden. It can touch us in ways that are inspiring, grounding, comforting, entertaining, and enlightening. Whether you are opening a classic you’ve never read before or returning to an old favorite for the thousandth time, books are ready and waiting to reveal something in ourselves and the world we didn鈥檛 see before.
Here at 优蜜视频, we all love to read! We know so many of our community members are often looking for resources to meet the needs of the gifted children in their life. Below are a few links we thought would be helpful for the gifted mind and heart.
Happy Reading!

Also, this month, we invite you to join 优蜜视频 in making a lasting impact on gifted youth by participating in our first-ever peer-to-peer fundraiser, the 优蜜视频 Read-a-Thon.

Please visit our page where you can view real-time updates on our fundraising progress and meet some of the amazing individuals that make our community so special.
