Pennsylvania One Book Early Literacy Program

The Pennsylvania One Book initiative is a valuable program that highlights the importance of early literacy development in preschoolers and the significance of reading early and often to children, as well as engaging them in conversation and other activities around books. The program has remained successful in part due to the partnership of collaborating agencies that all support early childhood literacy efforts. Each year, a different children’s picture book, is chosen by the committee to be highlighted.

The 2023 Pennsylvania One Book title is Mel Fell by Corey R. Tabor.

The PA One Book Committee has chosen Mel Fell by author Corey R. Tabor as the 2023 PA One Book Early Literacy selection. The Pennsylvania One Book program is entering its eighteenth year promoting the value and benefits of reading early and often to preschoolers.

Public libraries and certified early childhood education programs across Pennsylvania will be provided with a copy of the book in early 2023.
