I cannot think of a better way for inmates to interact with their children. Picture books can do it all.

Hello Michelle!
Kids Month will start on March 1 on my blog.
I was going to put the charities I recommend on my sidebar.
However, I have decided a better place is at the end of each post.
I have a good amount of support from my WP blogging community, so hope you will read the odd post and like. After all, yours is the charity that began it all, for me & us.
So far I begin with Picture Book Pass It On, then Big Brothers and Sisters, then the Red Cross,…. and a few more.
When you read my first post you will see why I chose the charities I chose.
SO, what I need to know right now is what link do you want me to send people to? WP or FaceBook. I will link your logo to whatever you prefer.
You are an inspiration, and I thank you!

Hi Resa. This is such a wonderful thing you are doing. I am honored to be selected as one of your featured charities. Sending people to my Facebook is probably most-efficient. I post all of the donation stories there along with timely updates about the drive. I am grateful to you for helping to spread the word about the book drive. I wish you joy and success in all of your endeavors. https://www.facebook.com/PBPiO/
Take care,
Michelle
