AITC's Literacy Project helps improve both the literacy of Oregon's young readers and their knowledge of agriculture. This year's book is Apples to Oregon by local author Deborah Hopkinson. It's a perfect fit for celebrating our state's 150th birthday and the delightful illustrations are sure to capture the imaginations of students of all ages.
