Picture this: Winnipeg. 1988 or '89. A little girl sitting in the back of her parent’s car. Them listening to ‘Double Exposure’ on the CBC and her trying to drown it out by reading her Robert Munsch book. That little girl was (is?) Juliana (Jules) Moore, editor of Hobo Magazine.
An avid, self-professed “polyamorous” reader (indulging in five books at a time!) Jules gifted her favourite Robert Munsch tale Moira’s Birthday, a story about a girl with a big appetite and a nice little allegory about the destructiveness of greed. Though, we’re sure Jules agrees, there’s nothing greedy about wanting to read more books.

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, One to One: A Children's Literacy Program. Share your favourite stories with A Good Book Drive on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. |
