Hello James, I would like to get the message of diversity out there to the kids through my childrens book, The Clown No One Wanted. It is an original tale and a unique way to educate kids and parents especially since nobody is talking about this important subject in todays childrens books.
I am waiting for a new order of my books through the mail. I may have to travel up to my printer to pick them up since it is taking a while. I will get a copy to you as soon as I can. One of my goals with my book is to have it as part of a school cirriculum due to the important message of diversity so hopefully you might see a fit for that with the Minneapolis schools and my book. Also this book makes a great fundraiser for the schools. Just a thought. I will let you know when I send it to you so you will have a heads up.
I haven't heard from you in a while. I'm surprised your not considering the set up of a fundraiser for the Minn. schools with my book The Clown No One Wanted. This would be a great way to get an important message out to the parents and help raise a lot of funds for the school district. Get back to my with a contact number and we can discuss moving forward on this.
Regards,
Desarae R. Hollaway
