Carroll, Lear, King—Kids Reading!
My beloved local Bookshop Santa Cruz has a program to keep kids reading during the pandemic: giving away books to kids K-12 at the school lunch program drive-by pickups. Help a great bookshop, help kids—and help their parents, to keep kids reading.
So I’m running a fundraiser for them.
By way of reward, I’ll keep track of how much people have given and post some fun videos when the total reaches certain levels:
$100—Laurie reads Lewis Carroll’s “The Jabberwocky” (but hey—it’s already up, here!)
$250—Laurie reads Edward Lear’s “The Owl and the Pussycat” (with illustrations)
$500—Laurie reads “Mrs Hudson’s Case” (with illustrations)
$1000—Laurie reads two chapters of Riviera Gold
…and if we go over, I’m sure I’ll find some other goodies.
The GoFundMe page is here.
