What's even more playful than the books she chose to donate is Sarita Mann's curious tale of hiding beneath the covers, away from the watchful eyes of her parents, to ogle her favourite books: A Treasury of Curious George by Margaret and H.A. Rey and The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss.
Despite being raised in a family "very much from India" who, as custom dictated, heavily steered her towards a career as a doctor, engineer, or lawyer, Sarita's boundless imagination lead her to run a successful independent business drawing and designing cheerful cards anybody would be lucky to receive. We think it's safe to say, she's managed to make her parents very proud nonetheless. Listen to Sarita tell her story and get inspired!

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. |
