Five year-old Shashank, the winner of our first “Around the World in 100 Bookshelves” book draw, received his books! The following is a note from his father:
The books have arrived, and they are so wonderful! Thank you very much! I have already read them several times to Shashank. His favorite one is ‘Homes,’ and the page he likes the most is the one where crying clouds make rain!. Take a look at all the new books on our bookshelf!
Thanks for the feedback, Prashanth! It’s great to see Shashank smiling, with his new favorite book in hand!
Readers, take note: on Jul 15th we will draw a new winner, so keep sending us photos of your children’s bookshelves. They could be the next to win a set of age-appropriate multicultural books!
