I learned from Candace at Naturally Educational that Random House Read & Play Community is making an unlimited donation to First Book and I wanted to share and get everyone to participate. All you have to do is to leave a comment on this thread to help. Every comment equals a book for an economically disadvantaged child. Getting books into the hands of children produces real gains in literacy and returns on investment in literacy are HUGE.
It is SOOO easy for you to put a book, or two, or three, or more into the hands of a child RIGHT NOW! Just go and leave a comment of any kind.
Can’t think of anything to write? Just tell ’em Sweetie sent you to help bring books to needy kids. Random House’s goal is to donate at least 2,500 book but the donation is uncapped so the sky is the limit. It is all depends on how many comments they get.
