The Storybook Playhouse exhibit was created to capture the imagination of children & promote the importance of literacy. "There truly is no better way to engage children in reading and literacy than reaching to their imaginations," said Donna Coletti, Chairman of the Storybook Playhouse exhibit and award. "This award chosen by children allows them to show which house speaks to them and their imaginations while encouraging them to read the story."
