 -- Quote of the Day  --


Providing free books to kids in crisis is now known as the fastest growing crime prevention program available in the US. …Children of incarcerated parents can now get a new book when they come to visit– 60% of incarcerated people are illiterate… and a child of an incarcerated parent has a 6-times greater chance of also being incarcerated. …If you read well, you can get good grades, and there are greater opportunities for you later in life. We are hoping to break the cycle of illiteracy.  …Emergency rooms too – when children receive a book they are not sitting around, looking at the fluorescent lights and wondering what is happening to mom and what is going to happen to them.” 

~ Paul Gilbertson 

Today's quote originates from the Reach a Child Foundation interview that aired back on Feb 24 via the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show. Click on the hyper-linked show title above to access the archived interview.



-- Fool For Books Giveaway Hop --


I am honored to be participating in : The Fool For Books Giveaway Hop - hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer & The Bookish Snob.   Contest runs from April 1st & 2nd.

We are giving away a copy of Towards Understanding - a collection of 125 poems. Beginning with her childhood trauma and leading into her journey of finding healing and self worth, the author takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions through verse in a style the emulates how an artist paints with colors and explores various poem-structures - uncommon amongst modern poets.  *e-book only.

 Simply email your entry (click on the "contact" button on our site: www.brummet.ca) or leave a comment here on this blog :)

Each blog (listed on the link below) will host their own giveaway. Find books, swags, amazon gift cards, and other prizes.
