Minnesota BookPALS would like to thank our friends at First Book for a special donation on October 11th. The distribution was at a warehouse here in the Twin Cities, so local coordinator Delta Giordano volunteered at the distribution for a couple of hours, then received 200 copies of MOMMY?, a new pop-up book illustrated by Maurice Sendak. The story about a little boy and monsters set the mood for Halloween. It was perfect timing since we were able to donate the books to Riverview West Side School of Excellence for their annual family literacy event that same night!

Children and their families gathered on Sept. 8 for the annual Celebration of Minnesota Authors & Illustrators event in Red Wing. BookPALS were the featured readers at the top of the Tower on the Anderson Center campus. We climbed the 70+ steps up the Tower and read books by local authors and illustrators. Thanks to BookPALS Barb Everhart, Patty McDonald, Patsy McKenzie, Paul Mockovak and Kevin Wery (pictured below) for making the drive to Red Wing and making the climb!
Families were rewarded for winding their way up the spiral staircase with stories read by our wonderful BookPALS.
