The Kids 4 Kids books are all packed in my suitcase. I had to buy a new suitcase to fit all of the books inside. I usually travel with only carry-on luggage, so it will be an adventure to see if my suitcase makes it to Lilongwe, Malawi with me! I HOPE that the suitcase will be under the weight allowance. I can hardly lift it! We'll soon see!
There are 6 readers: yellow, orange, blue, green, red, and purple. Each reader has multiple stories in them. There are 50 copies of each reader. In addition, one of the fifth grades wrote stories for me to take. There is only one copy of each of the fifth grade books, but they are wonderful stories. I regret that we do not have multiple copies of them, but we can only do what we can do!
I leave for Malawi tomorrow. It will be exciting to find out how the children in Malawi enjoy the books. I hope it will excite them to want to write their own stories. If it does, I will bring their stories back with me to publish for kids here in Atlanta.
Tennie, my Old English Sheepdog, sits sadly by my bag. She knows that something is up. Since she barks non-stop when we travel in the car, I don't think I'll be bringing her with me on this trip! (Can you imagine what the bark of an Old English Sheepdog sounds like? --- THINK LOUD!!!)
