Every March we celebrate the birthday of the beloved Dr. Seuss. Classrooms everywhere read Oh, the Places You’ll Go! and kids parade around in those classic red and white, striped top hats. It is a day of fun for all.
This year, we are wondering, why stop at celebrating the birthday of only one of our favorite authors? Let’s kick off the next decade of books and fabulous authors yet- to-come by remembering the birthdays of our favorite authors!
And as an incentive, we are giving away 10 copies of the 2010 Book Lovers calendar, complete with author birthdays, stories about our favorite classics from Sails for the South Seas to Of Mice and Men, and pictures that every booklover wishes they could hang on their kitchen fridge! Plus, each copy helps First Book provide new books to children in need.
Want to get your own copy of the 2010 Book Lovers calendar?
Here’s how you can: post a comment mentioning your favorite author and their birthday by 11:59 pm ET on December 28th. Ten participants will be chosen at random to receive their very own Book Lover’s 2010 Calendar.
Post a comment and help us celebrate all of the authors who wrote those books that make us smile!
Calendars can also be purchased by visiting www.bookloversstuff.com
My all time favorite author we celebrate His birthday on Christmas day – afterall He did write THE best seller of all time – 66 books packed into one.
As far as human authors – C.S. Lewis would be one. Born Nov. 29, 1898
I love Edgar Allan Poe and he was born on January 19, 1809
One of my favorite children’s authors is Dandi Daley Mackall. Her birthdate is 3/24/49. Everyone should read Larger-than-Life Lara- a great book that teaches the writing process while addressing bullying through the words of Laney, a fourth grade student. One of the best books ever!!
