Though Canadian pop/rock singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas recalls having all of Robert Munsch’s collection at her disposal as a kid, she chose to donate Mortimer, the goofy story of an even goofier little boy who refused to go to bed because he just wanted to keep on singing.
The correlation here seems obvious, but for Hannah this story resonated on a much more personal level: “It reminds me of when I was a kid with my sisters and we’d be laughing and giggling all night and our parents would come and tell us to be quiet.”

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. At these drop off locations you can personalize your donation with a special bookplate, sharing the story of why that book is special to you. All books will be donated to this year’s book drive recipient, Frontier College Waiting Room Literacy Pilot Project. Share your favourite stories with A Good Book Drive on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. |
