2013 Readers: Carson Wiggs, Seattle Seahawks' Kicker


On Saturday (May 18th) First Book Seattle is holding its 2nd annual 'What was your First Book?' fundraising event at Richard Hugo House (1634 11th Ave, Seattle) from 10am to noon. Seattle celebrities will come together to read the first book they remember falling in love with. It's a great event to inspire children about reading and raise money to buy books for kids who need them. 


The final reader we have to announce is .......
