It is the moment we have all been waiting for! It is time to announce the winner of the Books for Books Blog Contest!

Drumroll please!  And the winner is . . .  Ingrid Hawkinson for her comment about A Natural History of Western Trees by Donald Culross Peattie.  Not only is this book overlooked, but her beautiful description of the book as “part field guide, part history book” truly captures the book’s essence. Congratulations Ingrid and thanks for your comment!

Now, for those of you who did not win, don’t fret! We are all winners. We have been able to share memories of our favorite overlooked and not-so-overlooked books. More importantly, thanks to everyone’s participation, we received a total of 280 comments and Fang Duff Kahn Publishers will donate 500 books to kids that need them most!

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the Books for Books Blog Contest. With your help, we are helping children in need experience the magic of owning their very own book.
