I think that my love of books is partly because I get to walk in someone else's shoes for a while. Reading opens up possibilities, challenges my mindset and gives me something worthwhile to cling onto. My Be A Part of Their Story Literacy Project has helped to give quality reading materials to young people in Michigan and to boost their self-esteem with the written word. This year partnering with Operation: Kid Equip will assist many kids in their literacy goals and give them something worthwhile to look forward to for the summer.
I am so excited about the virtual bookfair that I and several other authors have made a reality. We are giving out great give-a-ways and signing books for anyone who purchases during the time of the fair. The last day is today. I have already sold some books to some great readers be sure to get in on the fun and feel free to pass the word.
I thought that having a fair virtually helps readers to save time and to engage in a new way with published authors.
Our Main portal for more info is http://www.virtualbookfair.net
Be sure to visit our other participating authors/illustrators involved in this year's fair! Purchase signed copies, get give-a-ways and more!
