Busy authors
What a year so far! What fantastic schools! Starting with the invitation from ALIA (Australian Library and Information Association,) Deby Adair joined the Australian National Simultaneous Story time. From there, Deby's journey of spreading the word about the joys of reading and the love of books, (as a Friend of the 2012 National Year of Reading,) went on to several schools, with some events still to go by the end of 2012.
UnicornKisses has provided beautiful FREE UnicornKisses Stickers and WISH trilogy bookmarks to each and every child who attends... that's about 700 stickers and bookmarks... and they are a raging success... the kids love them! What could be better than a bookmark for all those young readers!
UnicornKisses and Deby Adair also held a fantastic 'schools-only' competition this winter, with beautiful and quality prizes to be won. Lucky winners in each school won prizes ranging from the Benny Posters to the amazing giveaway First Prize of the WISH TRILOGY in paperback!
During her school talks Deby Adair not only talks about the love of, and importance, of reading and literacy, but she also asks the schools to become involved in awareness of animal welfare. Some schools participate in fund raisers for Accredited Animal Welfare organisations. This year, the organisation that was chosen was the Australian Koala Foundation, (in order to raise awareness for the endangerment of the koala's environment due to loss of habitat.)
Deby Adair has enjoyed her 'school' days immensely, and says that she met wonderful children who were bright, intelligent and very well informed about all sorts of subjects and that their level of enthusiasm for books and reading was a real credit to the amazing and dedicated teachers that she feels awe-inspired to have met!
So, a great day for kids to receive wonderful insights into the fun and benefit of reading and literacy and also in understanding how valuable the animal kingdom (our friends on Earth,) are! These exciting events have all been mentioned on Facebook 'Books you Love' and Facebook 'UnicornKisses' & posted as Events on the 2012 National Year of Reading.
Good on you kids. Good on the hard working authors who spread the message of reading and books!
Best Wishes,
Deby Adair and UnicornKisses.

Hello to Deby Adair. My girl goes to one of the schools that you presented to and the kids had a great time. I wanted to say that she is now reading WISH and has fallen in love with the unicorn and the dog. Thank you and please keep up the great work with out kids. Cheers
