In case you missed it, I wanted to post my podcast conversation with 18 year old author and global literacy advocate, Riley Carney (www.rileycarney.com):
for the non-profit Lit World. LitWorld joins together with teachers, parents, community members, and children to support the development of sustainable literacy practices across the world. LitWorld educates community members to become literacy leaders through easy-to-use programs and resources and creates access to print materials that will help all children learn to read and write. They believe literate children will grow to be empowered, healthy and productive citizens. Their goal is universal literacy.
We’ll be talking about plans for next week’s World Read Aloud Day as well as some of the work they do with girls around the world.
Mina’s first children’s bookGOAL! has received great recognition including: being named to the list of the best one hundred books (Smithsonian 2010); the best one hundred books, (NYPL 2010); nominated for the SCIBA Awards in 2010. Humanitarian, human rights activist and Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote a beautiful blurb for GOAL! calling it: “Uplifting and inspiring, this beautifully written and illustrated book reminds us of the joys and saving grace of friendship and sport. Set in South Africa, this book is a gift for soccer fans and all families around the world.”
Mina’s second book, The Secret Message is a beautifully written and illustrated story based on a poem by the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi that Iranian-born Javaherbin heard from her father as a bedtime story. To learn more please visit Mina’s website: http://www.minajavaherbin.com

I’ll be talking with Shawna about her organization and the work they are doing to help children have access to books. The mission of Books for Kids is to promote literacy among all children with a special emphasis on low-income and at-risk preschool-aged children. Books for Kids creates libraries, donates books, and partners with literacy programs to develop the critical early foundation and skills which young children need to be successful in life.
Don’t forget. If you can’t listen live, be sure to check out the archived podcast either here on Book Dads or Blog Talk Radio.
