As frequent readers of this blog know, First Book receives all kinds of interesting notes and letters in our mailbag. (Actually, it’s more of a “virtual” mailbag, since a large majority of our correspondence comes in the form of email…but I digress.)

This week, we received an interesting note from Vital Voranau, a translator in Belarus, who is publishing A.A. Milne’s beloved “Winnie-the-Pooh.” This will mark the first time that the beloved classic is available in print to Belarusian children!

For more information about Mr. Voranau’s translation of the adventures of our favorite “silly old bear” and how you can help share the joy of reading with children, check out the book’s site at http://www.vinia-pych.com.
