Last week, I blogged about the wonderful Children's Book Tree at Blackwells in Edinburgh. I've now heard that so many children in so many situations of need have requested books that there's a serious danger that they won't all get one. Blackwells needs 15 people a day to buy a book for a child between now and mid-December.
Please, help us get books to these children!
You don't need to live in Edinburgh. Just pick up the phone and dial 0131 622 8225, tell the staff you'd like to buy a book for the Children's Book Tree, and they will do the rest. They will tell you what choices there are and either select a book for you or allocate the book of your choice to a child.
Thank you! It would be awful of some children had asked for books and didn't get them.
BTW, if you buy a book by an Edinburgh author, chances are it could be signed, too. Elizabeth Laird is going there today - I know this because I'm having lunch with her and we are both going to the shop afterwards.

One to represent each of my own children's interests at a younger age!
