Kids Growing Libraries and a Family of Readers

First things first.
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CLICK ON 2010 (17) Under BLOG ARCHIVE (below right) because we want you to see ALL of our posts from children's book illustrators and writers!



Thank you to all our old and new friends of books who believe in this project as much as we do. Would you like to help us grow our library?
Welcome to our blog Kids Growing Libraries that is all about books.

There are great storytellers here - amazing authors and incredible illustrators!

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR JUST THE RIGHT BOOK?
Take a look at this book wish list or sponsor a book you think is really special. If you click on the links in our list you can also connect to the website of the authors/illustrators on our booklist and read more about them. It's a great way to learn, to see what they are writing and drawing and it took us a long time to get that part done.

You can mail a children's book on our list [new or used] a book of your choice or donation [checks payable to: San Diego Cooperative Charter School] for the
Kids Growing Libraries book fund
Our address:
Santiago & Pierre @ Kids Growing Libraries San Diego Cooperative Charter School
7260 Linda Vista Road San Diego, California 92111

If you have questions or ideas please email them to us at:
kidsgrowinglibraries@gmail.com


Do you know what an ex-libris is? It is a bookplate label that gets pasted in a book to tell who it belongs to. Here is what we paste into every book given to this peace project. Here's to our friends, moms and dads, the aunts, uncles, grandparents and super special book lovers who have been donating books. Thanks for going on treasure hunts to old bookstores and thrift shops and finding some of the award winning books on our list and other favorite books for our book cart.
We knew we could count on all the generous artists and writers who are teaching us about making books and believe in growing libraries as much as we do.
Together we are growing a family of readers and need your help!
