Enjoy.

Star Light Star bright,
The first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

A Hero
John Wood is a person who I would consider a hero.
If you would like to read more about his life I would recommend his book. It is available at the Harris County Public Library for check out.
"Leaving Microsoft to Change the World : an entrepreneur's odyssey to educate the world's children," by Wood, John, 1964 Jan. 29-
Call No.: 370.913 Woo
ISBN: 006112107X
I believe that the title of the book speaks volumes. However, the organization which he developed, Room to Read is amazing! In only 7 years, Room to Read has established over 3,6000 libraries in the developing world. John Wood has made the world a better place, and I thank him for that.

Children's Illustrators Site
I love children's book illustrations! I appreciate each illustration for it's artistic value. However, when the creative work of an illustrator is collectively placed into a book, the art takes on a magical power that transports the reader to another world. What a wonderful talent these individuals have.
Therefore, I was delighted to find this new site. This unique online community currently counts 680 illustrators, 16 agents showcasing 15571 illustrations and 1313 published books! There is even a newsletter...Sounds like fun to me.
