In my recent CORA Diversity Roll Call post, I shared that I always give my daughters books for Christmas. You all know my commitment to literacy, supporting educators and how strongly I feel about getting books into the hands of readers.
Today’s Sunday Salon is about giving. I have six children’s books to donate to school libraries or classrooms. If you’d like one of these books, please comment here with your preference and the name of your school. I’ll do a random drawing. It’s hectic right now and schools will be on break so all books will ship after Christmas. The following titles are available:Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story by Paula Yoo illustrated by Lin Wang
In Her Hands: The Story of Sculptor Augusta Savage by Alan Schroeder, illustrated by Ja Me Bereal
Sacred Mountain: Everest by Christine Taylor-ButlerAs Good As Anybody: Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Joshua
Hersel’s Amazing March Toward Freedom by Richard Michelson illustrated by Raul Colon
John Coltrane’s Giant Step by Chris Raschka
Testing The Ice by Sharon Robinson illustrated by Kadir Nelson
Our review policy states all books are redistributed. I mean what I say.
If you are an author and would like to donate your book, contact me and I’ll add it to the list.Deadline to request book is December 31st. All books will ship after the first week of January.
I would like to ask that all recipients, if possible, please publish a review of the title on your blog or grant me permission to publish your review at Color Online.
Happy Holidays and happy reading,

Hello! I am very much interested in *Sacred Mountain-Everest* but would love to win ANY of the books offered here. I'm a 4th gr bilingual ed teacher with a mission to take my kids to all parts of the world! :) Thanks for the opportunity...
Thanks for entering, Cassy.
Good luck.
This would be so wonderful. We are an art charter school. I would love to have In Her Hands.
The name of my school is Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts. It's a very long name for a pretty small school (population 250).
Thanks for the chance at this book.
Mardel,
Glad you're in. Did you get your other book?
I would love a copy of "In Her Hands" or "As Good As Anybody" for the elementary library at Pacific Crest School. Thanks for the opportunity to win a book!
I would love any of these books. I am a new teachers and I need books for my classroom. Anything would be great! :)
Hi Susan, I would love to have and review any book you want to give. Even though I am a high school librarian, we have life skills students, reluctant readers and picture books have a special place in our library. Thanks!
Still time.
Happy Holidays!
