A Good Book Drive: Dan Mangan

A Good Book Drive is an annual book drive to bring stories to a new generation of readers, and support kids in need of new books.

A Good Book Drive has teamed up with a great group of independent Vancouver retailers that will each house a Good Book Box. Here you can drop off your favorite kids book and personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you.

A Good Book Drive is an annual book drive to bring stories to a new generation of readers, and support kids in need of new books. Running through the month of November, A Good Book Drive will be inspiring Vancouverites to purchase a new copy of their favorite kids’ book and deliver it to set locations throughout the city to be donated to this year’s book drive recipient, Vancouver literacy program The Writers Exchange.

As a kid, Dan Mangan remembers his father reading him Love You Forever. Dan talked with Craig Stone on 102.7 The Peak about this beautifully written book and explains how it’s a good kind of mushy. You can listen here.

Dan is convinced that Love You Forever is the most sentimental book ever written and explains how it has the power to melt you into a pile of rubble.
