Thank you to Scholastic Books!!

A member of Books for Daniel contacted Scholastic over the sure to find out if they could allow orders early to accommodate the B4D timeline. Scholastic replied promptly and said they were unable due to system requirements - but they would be sending a donation to the cause.

No one ever expected to get 3 giant boxes full of brand new books!! Scholastic in fact donation just around 200 new books to the drive!!

So THANK YOU Scholastic Books for

What is "Books for Daniel"?

Daniel Metz was a three-year-old who always had a book in hand. Although an accident claimed his life in July 2011, his passion for learning continues on through those who knew and loved him.

Books for Daniel was created as a way to share Daniel’s love of books with children in his community of Maryland Heights, Mo. We’re asking anyone interested to purchase a new copy of your favorite children’s book and donate it to our Books for Daniel drive now through September 15, 2011. Each book will receive a Books for Daniel label before it is distributed to Rose Acres Elementary School, the preschool Daniel would have attended. In addition, books will be provided to the Pattonville School District to expand its school libraries and to Pattonville Parents as Teachers so that children in need can receive the gift of reading from a special little boy.

Show us how Daniel is impacting your life! Snap a photo of you or your children reading the book before you turn it in and let us know why it’s your favorite. It’s not only a great way to honor Daniel, it introduces your fellow readers to some incredible books they might not know about!

Every time a child opens a Book for Daniel, we know Daniel is guiding him or her on that incredible adventure found only in books.
