To ensure that as many people as possible can enjoy the Snacks & Stories program, Mott’s is also offering another way for families to get access to free books –- and it’s all done online. In fact, to get a free book of your choice sent to you by Mott’s, all you have to do is purchase a box of the company’s participating fruit snacks at your local grocery store and then upload a picture of your receipt to the Snacks & Stories Book Exchange website. Afterward, Mott’s will send you an e-mail notifying you that the upload has been approved and allowing you to choose a book that will arrive at your door for you and your family to enjoy together.
The list of books to choose from includes a range of multicultural topics and authors, from titles like “Too Many Tamales” by Gary Soto to “Tomatoes for Neela” by Padma Lakshmi –- the food show host and cookbook author herself. Mott’s fruit snacks for books deal is set to last through July of 2024 and will hopefully help improve book access and encourage reading across the country.
