Do you want to receive any special gifts? 104th Birthday, 104 Books Betty X. Davis is from Texas, USA. As her 104th birthday was coming, her family and caregivers asked her what she wanted for her birthday. Davis told them that she didn’t want a cake or gifts. Instead, she wanted to collect 104 children’s books and give them away to a local primary school. “I think that’s very important to get kids to read books,” Davis said. “There’s a lot you can do with books.” Davis’s caregivers threw a party for her on her birthday. There at the celebration were four of Davis’s eight children, friends, other family members and some children’s books. Davis said children’s books have a special place in her heart. “My mother always told us to have a love of reading and giving back,” said Virginia Palmer, Davis’s daughter. Davis worked with children all her life. Palmer said she remembered her mom was always reading and writing, everything from letters to books. Grover, a caregiver, said people continued to give away children’s books to them as more people found out about Davis’s wish. They received over 200 books. “It shows that there is always a need to give back and it doesn’t matter how old you are — there’s always a way to give back,” Grover said. “There is a whole different light that has been lit here because of Davis and her birthday.” While reading True(T) or False(F)？ ( )1.
