Choosing a Book to Donate

For our holiday book drive, we're asking customers to donate books that we will give to a school in the area that has been flooded several times.

One of my co-workers was talking to a man about the book drive, "The school was flooded, and we're trying to help them build up their library. I have some books here, and there are some back here..." she pointed to the shelves behind her, full of dozens of children's books.

"I'd like to donate, I'm just not sure which one," the man with greying hair, wearing a long brown raincoat and brown hat, said.

She pointed to the book closest to her register, "There's this one. They could learn about lightning."

      

"Sure," the man said, "that's a good idea. They already know about flooding."

Mountain, Cloud, Water...Dance

Every year during the holidays, our stores choose a school, organization or agency that needs books for children. We ask customers if they'd like to donate a book to the agency that our store has selected.

Booksellers have set up displays, featuring books that people might choose to purchase and donate. The other day I saw MOUNTAIN DANCE, WATER DANCE, and CLOUD DANCE for the first time.

            

These are gorgeous books. The artwork is incredible, and each book gives a little science, though it's science told through poetry and art.

Any child would be lucky to have one of these books.
