Why do we celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday?
Every year on March 2nd, we roll out the proverbial red-and-white-striped carpet to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss, a cherished children’s author whose whimsical tales have delighted families for generations.
This day isn’t just a commemoration of Theodor Seuss Geisel—known as Dr. Seuss—but a tribute to the joy of reading and the spark of imagination his stories ignite in young minds.
Parents and educators seize this day to participate in Read Across America. This initiative inspires an appreciation for reading while honoring an author’s legacy who masterfully combined playful rhymes with vibrant illustrations.
Celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday goes beyond mere festivity; it is a heartwarming reminder of the endless possibilities within the pages of a book and an opportunity to instill a lifelong love of reading in our children.

Moreover, kids can partake in a Truffula Tree art project, using colorful tufts of cotton or pompoms to bring to life the whimsical forest the Lorax fights to protect.
