Rabbits for Reading, Set of Two
Literacy Matters: Fusing fun and reading, Rabbits for Reading is a unique and flax linen napkin set, linens that help children's literacy. Once the napkins are folded, following the special instructions printed upon the napkin, it becomes a Rabbit! The puppet is a reading toy that promotes learning through play and bonding.
The Rabbits support the love of reading by donating 10% of proceeds to S.T.A.I.R. and First Book. S.T.A.I.R. is a New Orleans tutoring group helping elementary school students to succeed an build confidence for successful roads ahead. First Book provides books to children in need, whether to schools or individual groups.
These fine flax linens are made in New York state in the Irish tradition, by a family in business for 150 years! They are sewn and printed in New Orleans with eco inks.

Rabbits for Reading is a collaborative project by designers Cécile Thalmann & Adel Kassem + Matter.
Cécile's grandmother used to play with her using this napkin rabbit trick and she has been sharing it with others ever since! The transformation of the napkin into the puppet helps spark a child's creativity and also becomes their delightful reading buddy, investigating books and lands of imagination together.

Care instructions: Wash cold, dry flat, iron on back (non-printed side)

**Invoices are not included with packages due to many orders being sent as gifts, your receipt is your order notification email.
**Orders sent First class USPS don't automatically include insurance. Insurance is required to replace orders that have gone missing during shipment (a thankfully unusual occurrence). You will need to file a claim & then the order will be replaced. Priority USPS, UPS, or FedEx orders do include insurance. USPS claims can be filed here, FedEx here, & UPS here. Heads up that FedEx & UPS claims are far easier to submit and more likely to actually receive payment for damaged/lost goods.
**Returns/exchanges - Unfortunately these are not possible due to the hygienic nature of the soaps and body care products. Made to order items are also not return/exchangeable. For the rest of our products, if items are like new, an exchange is possible within 14 days of purchase with proof of purchase. As a small business, we are not able to pay for return shipping.
**Shipping Internationally: We are happy to ship to you wherever you are in the world! Sselect your country from the list and when shipped via USPS, estimate 7-15 days for arrival. If shipping via USPS, tracking and insurance are sometimes unavailable, so we are not able to guarantee your package against being lost or stolen. (We haven't had any issues to date, knock on wood.)

**Glycerin Soap - High quality glycerin soap naturally attracts moisture from the air.
