Sen. Katie Britt promotes early literacy in NICU reading session at Children’s of Alabama and UAB Hospital

As part of the 2024 NICU Bookworms Day, U.S. Senator Katie Britt visited Children’s of Alabama and the UAB Hospital on Monday to read to premature and sick newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit. She selected a handful of books from the hospital’s new book vending machine.

“I want every child to have the opportunity to live their American Dream, and early brain development is a key part of ensuring that is possible because it sets a foundation for a child’s future,” Britt said. “UAB and Children’s Bookworm Day is an important initiative that shows parents just how vital it is to read to their babies from an early age.”

“I read to my kids throughout their early years, and, today, I was able to read to precious babies receiving life-saving care in the NICUs at UAB Hospital and Children’s of Alabama.”
