Kate Greenaway has been a beloved illustrator of mine since my own childhood, and some of my all time illustrators have won that award, like Shirley Hughes and Helen Oxenbury.<BR/><BR/>I've brought Bookstart to the attention of the UK Bloomsbury folks, and I'd love to make a donation myself if you pass along the information on how to do so. I support a similar organization in my hometown of Pittsburgh, called Beginning with Books. These kinds of organizations make a big difference in the lives of many children and families, and they do so for a fraction of the cost of other intervention programs. Please, everyone, support these programs in your own hometowns.Carol Baicker-McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190497340312463771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25633439.post-1160833119913605842006-10-14T09:38:00.000-04:002006-10-14T09:38:00.000-04:00This is great!
