About
Karter Johnson is a 10 year old literacy influencer from Detroit, MI. He is the CEO of Popcorn and Books, after reading a newsletter that stated if third graders couldn’t read on grade level they would have to repeat the 3rd grade. Shocked by this news, an 8-year-old Karter Johnson did research on the topic and learned that a lack of books in the home and not having anyone to read with were 2 huge issues. So he launched Popcorn and Books subscription box via Universal Popcorn, LLC., Karter made it his business to help fight the literacy problem that some kids face and to be there for kids who need someone to read with.
After being in business for a year and a half Popcorn and Books is now a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Through that organization Karter has launched ‘Build A Kid’s Library’ where we send high-quality, age-appropriate books to kids in Detroit, MI. and it’s surrounding areas once a month at no cost to their families.
In addressing the second major issue of not having anyone to read with, Karter spends time reading books on ‘The Build Your Kid’s Library,’ reading show where he read books that would be a great addition to kid’s home library and to be a place where kids can see that reading can be fun and be encouraged to read.

Bringing the community together to put
books in the homes of Detroit kids.
For families living in poverty, books are a luxury purchase outweighed by basic living expenses. More than half of families living in poverty don’t have children’s books in their homes. Together you and I can give a child the fun, mystery, and adventure that will change their lives.
Let’s Build A Kid’s Library Together.

Cassie's Big Change: Going from the Living Room to the Classroom #Readaloud
Join Karter as he reads Cassie's Big Change: Going from the Living Room to the Classroom By Tamara Foley Ph.D.
Cassie has been learning on a laptop at home due to COVID-19 but once again, things are changing. Vaccines are available and infection rates are declining, allowing schools to reopen. Going back into the school building means that Cassie, her family, and friends must readjust once more; while some things are the same, other things have permanently changed.
In this second installment of the Cassie’s Big Change series, Cassie and her crew transition from learning on the computer at home to once again sharing the educational experience in the classroom. Peek in on the first days back in the building, how COVID changed life for Cassie and her friends, and the tools their teachers give them to manage their thoughts and feelings during this big change.
