Oh, how I love International Book Giving Day! Let me count the ways…
1. You don’t have to give away a new book. You can give away a much-loved book.
2. Encouraging children to read + Stealthily leaving a book = Super Fun
3. Very cool and free bookplates to put in your giveaway book.
4. Marc Martin’s free bookmark (which ties in nicely to a certain writer’s blog theme).
5. And Tim Budgen’s bookmarks, too (which feature a certain dog that may or may not look familiar).
6. Because it makes my heart feel good to read all these stories and know that somewhere, on February 14th, a child may find the book that opens his or her heart to a lifelong love of reading.
7. And really, that’s such an awesome thing, I’ve lost count.
Cathy–I know just the kid and just the book…Thanks for the heads-up.
I have a couple ideas–maybe I can find a couple books! (And you’re welcome, Sioux!)
Such a cool idea. We’ve got kids books in the attic I can hunt down. Love the idea of playing secret Santa in February. 🙂
Oh, that’s it exactly, Lisa! (And thanks for the Twitter love!)
What fun! And a wonderful way to introduce kids to the wonderful world of books.
Absolutely agree, Donna!
Best. Valentine. Ever. I’ll be participating.
