kindness
random acts
honoring those lost
I am sure many have heard about the twenty-six act of kindness started by Ann Curry. It’s been on my mind and this week I decided what I would do to participate.
You see, there are a lot of poetry books, sent by publishers for the CYBILs. I usually share with other schools but not this year. This year, I will pass them out with the following note:
To honor the children and adults of Sandy Hook Elementary whose lives were taken too soon, please accept this random act of kindness. I love poetry and want to share it with others. This poetry book was nominated for the 2012 CYBILs Poetry Award (http://www.cybils.com/).
The principal, Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, loved reading and to inspire her students she dressed as a book fairy in October. Please share this book with someone or a school.
You are number ___ in honor of ________________________________
Wishing you joy, love and peace this holiday season. Please keep the kindness going!

I started on Christmas when we stopped at a Starbucks. By the time I left, a mother was reading to her daughter. I am in Medford this Friday and will include my grand girls in the giving.
As Ann Curry says, “Are you in?”
Poetry Friday is being held at Carol’s Corner.
Happy Reading.

Fabulous! Random acts of poetry!
I love this idea! I don’t have 26 poetry books to give away (I got most of my CYBILS books at the library) but I could definitely print out 26 poems and scatter those around Denver. Hmmm.
I don’t have 26 books either but I am giving most of what I have. Then I will pay the library fines of a couple of students to make up the rest.
Wonderful idea, Jone. I will find something to share, perhaps a mix of poetry and picture books.
