Do you remember your favourite childrens’ book?
I clearly remember sitting on mum and dad’s movingGearknees when I was a toddler, laughing hysterically when they tripped over The Cat in the Hat then working my own way through Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven and Famous Five books and being utterly enchanted by The Faraway Tree.
This month, we’re asking you to donate new children’s and young adults' books to underprivileged children across WA so they can share the joy of reading.
Let’s try to get as many beautiful books as we can into the hands of as many young people as we can so they too can ignite future memories! Russell Woolf |
