This giveaway is officially closed. The lucky winner of the $25 GC to Random House is................... Mia J. said... 127 I learned that First Book has donated over 90 million books and learning resources to children in need. April 3, 2012 12:25 AM Thank you to all of you who came to learn about my favorite charity!! And I hope that when you think about giving this year you will think about First Book! Now all the winner has to do is reply to the email I will be sending her in a few minutes within 48 hours with the names of the book (s) (up to $25 worth) and her full name and mailing address and I will go in and order them for her!! I am a reader. I believe that every child should experience the wonder of opening his or her very own book. There is something about actually holding a book and turning the pages that can cause the imagination to soar. It can be the beginning of a love of lifetime learning. Most times it is a parent who first buys and then reads to their child, turning the pages, explaining the brightly colored pictures! Unfortunately not everyone in this day and age can afford that First Book. One of my favorite charities is First Book; they donate that first book to children whose parents simply cannot afford them.

So, when the time comes that you are thinking about which charity to give to—won’t you consider First Book. I really just want you to see what this charity is all about. Whether you might consider donating at some point or have a need for their services or are just curious please click in and read all about it!!
And I have a suggestion for all us avid readers out there—this year why don’t you forgo the buying of 1 book and donate the money to First book instead. And when you are thinking about what to buy a child as a present—buy them a book (admittedly in addition to whatever else they might want!)


Now for the fun part!!! One lucky winner will be able to go to Random House and pick out $25.00 worth of books of their choice. Just remember to put your email in each and every comment so that I can contact the winner (chosen by Random.org) who will have 48 hours to respond to my email.

Mandatory Entry: Go to First Book and tell me something you learned.
