Jackie recently partnered with Nebraska Growing Readers, a program that helps families build early literacy skills by offering free, high-quality children’s books—many with Nebraska roots.
As part of this initiative, my colleagues and I wrote our very first children’s book: Let’s Go Outside! It encourages kids to step away from screens and into the wonder of the outdoors.
You can read it for FREE through Unite for Literacy along with many other books!

This book connects to our "Let's Go Outside-Can You Find?" Nebraska Extension Early Childhood Program. To learn more about the program and download a full set of the activity guides, visit https://go.unl.edu/letsgooutside
