Good As It Gets

For a children's book author, I really don't think it can get better than this:       I mean, this is what it's all about: children excited about and connecting over a book! Thanks to An Open Book Foundation and For Love of Children for putting books into the hands and homes of kids, and for letting me and Vanessa Brantley-Newton take part in their work. We loved sharing our book with students last month. (There was much to love, as I think the photos show!) We love that, thanks to these organizations, so many students get their very own copies of brand-new books, including We Shall Overcome, to take home.An Open Book and FLOC are only a click away from this post you're reading. If you don't know them, today--#GivingTuesday--is a perfect day to learn about them and to consider including them in your annual charitable giving. Just an idea. . . .
