Kathryn Sweenor and Madison Barrett help
with reading bags! Here’s some breaking news about Earth Day
and Authors
for Earth Day
Tuesday,
March 23, 2010 On Earth Day, April 22, 2010, a
U.S. national coalition of award-winning children’s book authors and
illustrators will participate in Authors For Earth Day (A4ED) to
“support conservation through literacy” in schools from
California to New York. Their special one-day events raise money for
conservation organizations while boosting children’s environmental
awareness. Newbery winner Jerry Spinelli and his wordsmith wife Eileen kicked
off A4ED’s inaugural year with a generous donation to Bat Conservation
International. Participating authors include Bruce
Hale, Debbie Dadey, Nancy Castaldo, and Barbara Gowan. Author-illustrator
Brooke Bessesen, event founder, conceived of A4ED in 2008 and has now set up
the infrastructure and rallied enough authors to launch the event. Authors
for Earth Day supports kids, education, and conservation.
