Hi Steemit,

Today, I am giving away Bedtime Rhymes which is presented by Clare Beaton and published by Barefoot Books. I purchased this book as a part of a starter pack when I became a Barefoot Books Ambassador. The book is Brand New, and beautiful.

The ticket price for the book is $6.99 USD, and if you win it, I will ship it to your home. Shipping (Up to $10 USD) will be paid for by @metzli. If shipping to your region is more than $10 USD, you can choose to pay the difference (in Steem) or forfeit your price. The book is a board book, and fairly light, so shipping by media mail should be inexpensive enough.

Bedtime Rhymes is created for Children 0-4, but can be enjoyed by many. It features different lull bedtime rhymes, and is illustrated by creating characters with felt and then taking pictures of them. Its a really nice book.

This give-away is a designed with the idea to create a home library for every child. Along with the give-aways I will be posting Children's Literacy Articles, tips for getting started with reading, and other useful tips I've been gathering since starting to work in children's literacy 20 years ago.

All children can benefit from a home library, and all families can benefit from from free books.

Participation in this give away is easy. Everyone can gain up to three raffle tickets. At payout of this post, I will go to random.org and choose the winning raffle ticket.

How to get tickets.

1 Ticket for commenting on this post that you are interested in receiving the book.

1 Ticket Upvote this Post (and let me know in the comments that you upvoted it)

1 Ticket Re-Steem this Post (and let me know your re-steemed it)

I have chosen four books to give away and will be raffling them off over the next four weeks. Any SBD earned from this post, and other book give-away posts will be used to purchase more books. If there is a specific book you are interested in my giving away, please mention it in the comments and I will look into it.

Thank you for the opportunity to help bring books to every child in my network.

Studies show that the amount of books in the home is directly linked to years of education received. Having books available is one of the most inexpensive ways to help your child thrive. Its even more inexpensive when its free.

SBD FROM THIS PAYOUT WILL BE USED TO PURCHASE MORE BOOKS TO GIVE AWAY ON STEEMIT

I am sorry that I saw this late. but I will resteem the next one as well.
I have a little free library at my house and a school 1/2 a block down where 80% of the kids are below poverty level.
Many books disappear from the library and I am so glad. I too feel that every house needs to have books.
My neighborhood has really been great in donating books. Sometimes, the library is so full that I have to take some out to put back later.

Im happy to hear that. I love the little libraries in my neighborhood. This little book will be perfect for one of those. Im giving you ticket 18 and 19 and will be announcing the winner soon!

Here are more possible books to give away in your little library.

We really should do a podcast on the importance of books in a child's life and how and why that is related to Sustainable Living.
And it is me, Marianne, from my podcast account :)

I will message you on discord.
