Celebrating Children's Book Week

Children’s Book Week, the national celebration of reading for youth kicks off May 7th. This week long observance (administered by Every Child A Reader and sponsored by the Children’s Book Council) honors the life-changing potential of a book, especially during a young person’s formative years.

Here are four terrific ideas Better World Books, a literacy fund-raising organization, suggests for celebrate for Children’s Book Week (and all year long!):

Buy a book from BetterWorldBooks.com. With every book purchased, they donate a book to someone who needs it. The vast majority of donations goes to Books for Africa and Feed the Children.

Pick out one of your (or one of your parents’) favorite books from childhood and introduce it to your kid at bedtime. Spend some time at your local library. Even a few minutes here and there in our busy schedule will help instill a lifelong love of books.

Pen your own children’s book to read to your kids. Have them also write their own to read to you, too!

Pick out 5 books, either from your own collection or from a book store, to donate to literacy campaigns throughout the world (Better World Books is a great example of one such outlet.)

Unconquered ~ Kindle Giveaway!

The Saga of Cousins Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, and Mickey Gilley...

In 1935 and early 1936, three cousins were born into tight-knit families in Ferriday, Louisiana. Rare piano talent, strong parental relationships, the Pentecostal church, family struggle, and a variety of musical influences worked together to produce men who changed twentieth-century music and culture. The individual stories of these three cousins illustrate their varied paths from small-town America to a world stage. Woven together, the collective story becomes even more compelling and amazing.

UNCONQUERED is a story so unlikely that it would not be believable if written as fiction. It tells of rock ‘n’ roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis, televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, and country music star Mickey Gilley. These very different men, raised in the same time and place, with similar talents, were fated for entirely different destinies even as their lives would always be profoundly intertwined. Born into poverty, each man, in his own way, would become an iconic figure blessed with the ability to thrill and inspire.

The story's touchstones of music, perseverance, and faith could wield such force only in the American South. There, in the Louisiana lowlands’ Concordia Parish, their story began in the midst of the Great Depression. Purchase your copy at  http://unconqueredbook.com/.

Amazing Landscape Carvings from Books

Though I'm a huge fan of the written word and treasure all of my books, I do enjoy seeing out-of-use books repurposed in a positive way. And it's easy to fall in love with the amazing landscape carvings by Guy Laramee.
