Hello-
The night before the inauguration of President Barack Obama, I watched a retrospective of his life on television. On it he said he wanted to invite kids to The White House for children's book readings to help encourage literacy in the US. I was stunned and amazed that he was planning something so perfectly in tune with what I am doing with various programs, charities, schools, libraries, etc. I wrote him a letter and sent a signed copy of Sparky the Wonderfish: A Story of How Love Creates Magic book. I included a coloring page, stickers, postcard, business card, bookmark and information sheet along with it.
How in keeping with what I am about, and how exciting to make a bigger impact would it be if I am invited to join in his efforts at The White House?! EXCITING!
I will keep you posted...
Gillian & Sparky the Wonderfish
P.S. By the way, if you scroll down to November 14th on this blog, you will see a photo (from Barnes & Noble Booksellers in LA) of 'Sparky the Wonderfish' on display right next to Michelle Obama's book! Is it a sign?
