·MENTORED STUDENTS: This year alone over 10, 600
kids voted—and in total we have empowered tens-of-thousands of young readers!
The librarian at April’s event was quoted in an article saying how generous
it was to donate on behalf of the students and give them “an opportunity to do
an authentic research project with real-world impact.”

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS: Our 2013 team donated
over $9,100 and brought our total contributions to nearly $25,000! Wow! It’s
quite remarkable to think that our eco-minded children’s authors &
illustrators have given so much green to our blue marble in just four short
years.
