DONATE DIVERSE BOOKS
|
I firmly believe that all children should be able to pick up a book and see themselves reflected in the pages. As a main character. So I'm holding a diversity book drive. Buy a book to donate that features a diverse main character, or is by a diverse author, get an entry. Buy a book that has both, get a second entry. Can't buy a book to donate? Request your local school and public libraries stock a copy of a diverse book for an entry. And if you request that your local school and public libraries stock a copy of my book, DEVILS WITHIN, you get another entry.

DO GOOD IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
|
Where will these books go? That's up to you. You can either donate them to a school or library in your area that you know needs diverse books. Or you can send them to me and I'll donate them to libraries that I know need them, like Mill Creek Elementary, a school where a teacher has put out a plea for diverse books.
The goal here is to get these books in the hands of children who need to read them, wherever they might be located. You can also hold separate drives in your area and give en masse to your local libraries. Every book donated is a win! |
WIN PRIZES
|
Speaking of winning, by participating, you can win too! I'm giving away four prize packs. Three small and one grand prize. The more books you donate or request, the more entries you get to win one of the prizes. I'm still building these packs, so be on the lookout for more information.
Prize #1: A copy of THE HATE U GIVE, by Angie Thomas, and a signed DEVILS WITHIN bookmark. Prize #2: A copy of DEAR MARTIN, by Nic Stone, and a signed DEVILS WITHIN bookmark. Prize #3: A copy of ONE SHADOW ON THE WALL, by Leah Henderson, and a signed DEVILS WITHIN bookmark. Grand Prize: A signed copy of all three of the above books, plus a signed copy of my book, and a Barnes & Noble gift card. |
The goal is 100 books. Together, I think we can reach the goal,
and children, across the country!
