Oh, Wow!!
It’s finally official. Let’s Go! has been announced as the 2009 Grade One Giveaway Book sponsored by TD Canada Trust and the Canadian Children’s Book Centre.
Woo-hoo!!!
This means that in November grade 1 kids all across Canada will get a special copy of the book!!!! For free!! That’s like 500,000 kids. I’m kinda speechless.
While I have known about this for awhile, my family was starting to think I was delusional since, you know, if I say it’s true it doesn’t actually really truly mean it’s true (good life lesson that, although sometimes you’d like to be taken on your word). But I can doubt my own sanity–on this matter–no longer. There’s proof out there!!
Too cool.
This is a terrific program that’s been in place for several years now. I know my own kids, who will sadly all be just past that grade 1 milestone next fall, have really enjoyed getting books from this program in the past.
I am truly honoured and lucky to have had such excellent collaborators with this book. Scot Ritchie. Maple Tree Press. Thank you!!!
