As a young mom in her twenties, Shira McDermott was determined to infuse her two little girls with confidence and show them all the possibilities life has to offer. It explains a lot about her contributions to the drive: Just Me and My Mom by Mercer Mayer and Oh, the Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss (a frequent A Good Book Drive crowd-pleaser).
“We’re all born with the same potential”, said Shira, “it’s just about navigating through our lives with the right attitude and the willingness to put up with the inevitable challenges … I love the message about not accepting mediocrity and negative ways of thinking!”
We can’t wait to see all the places these books will take the budding reader who receives them.

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. |
