Remember those days of old where we still felt the chill of winter through our spring dresses and light sweaters? In those fine days, I began collecting children’s books galore for this fall in Ghana. It’s amazing what you can find at thrift stores and garage sales- real treasures for growing brains.
Sadly, my children’s book pile blew away with the rest of my belongings. Along with my favorite thrift stores and garage sale haven. So I’m back to my trusty technological thrift store: Amazon.com. I’ve made a wish list of some books I would really love to take with me and share with the kids. You can access it here: http://amzn.com/w/3NKBAXI30SSHJ. All our info is on there so you can actually decide which items you want to buy and have it shipped directly to us! Amazon, please marry me?
These aren’t the only books we need though- the kiddos love to read, need to read, and lack resources to read. When Meg went back in January, a little one ran up to tell her how one girl had been hogging The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. We’re talking- He waited 3 months for Meg to show up again so she could make the book-thirsty girl share.
SO- if you have children’s books laying around that you would like to donate, feel free to drop them off with me, ship them to me, teleport them. I took that blessed, loaded bookshelf for granted.
Thanks for sharing your brain food. :)
