Written by There is no question that we love delicious food and a great book. So, it comes as no surprise that one of our favorite First Book volunteer fundraisers is First Book-Trumbull County’s annual Edible Book Art Festival fundraising event. For the past three years, participants have been challenged to create an art piece out of 100% edible material representing a classic or current children’s book, and festival attendees make a donation to vote on their favorite entries. Yummy!
This delicious fundraiser raised hundreds of dollars that funded grants that provide books for local children in need. We are inspired by the ingenuity and creativity of our many wonderful advisory boards across the country.
If you would like to learn more about how you can volunteer with First Book and help us get books to kids in need, please visit us at firstbook.org/get-involved.

Are you ready to create a magical book title? Webster defines magic as something that produces extraordinary results, as if by magic. Experts say book titles are responsible for 80% or more of a book’s initial pulling power. The average reader will spend only 4-8 seconds on the cover.
My husband and i got quite excited when Jordan could finish up his inquiry through the entire precious recommendations he made through your blog. It’s not at all simplistic to just choose to be offering ideas that many others could have been making money from. So we recognize we now have the website owner to give thanks to for this. Most of the explanations you made, the straightforward site navigation, the relationships you can assist to promote – it’s got mostly fabulous, and it’s really helping our son and us do think this idea is amusing, which is very pressing. Thank you for the whole lot!
