Ruby Emam (goodreadscomruby_emam) Hi, Julie. I would be happy to send two copies of my book The Little Black Fish to be reviewed by your experts. One of the most progressive books ever written for children, Young Adults, and progressives, it has countless messages and shows a path to achieve the goals of equality, freedom and justice. It has been banned in most Middle Eastern countries (including Iran, where the author was executed for his writings).
Not just for reading and being put back in bookshelves, this book needs to be studied over and over again as a guideline, to hopefully direct the readers to other books of this genre in an effort to make the world a better place for all.

I looked on their website and I couldn't find any info on volunteering but they have a Facebook page and you can follow them on Twitter. It looks like this program is currently raising money through Kickstarter as well.
