Your Chance to Soar Like a Leaf on the Wind!

Can you ace this quiz?

1) Who is the only pilot to execute both a Crazy Ivan AND a barn swallow in a spaceship?

2) Who was once fired from a fry cook opportunity?

3) Who has a wife that is fully capable of killing him with her pinky?

Yes, it’s Serenity’s own pilot, Hoban Washburne … or rather, his real-life portrayer, actor Alan Tudyk, who has graced one of our infamous Terrify’n Space Monkeys with his signature. Kids Need to Read Charity Auctions proudly presents this 15″ plush primate, wearing a blue shirt with “Terrify’n Space Monkey” hand painted on the front, along with a Kids Need to Read mini-button. Not only has Alan signed this space-faring simian’s shirt, but he also handwrote, “I’m a leaf on the wind” around its collar!

Maneuver over to http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110265017715 to place your bid before this spiffy simian takes off! Bidding opens at $40.00 and will continue until June 29, 2008.

Our sincere thanks go to Alan for signing our Space Monkey in such a spirit of fun! Money raised from these auctions is used to purchase books for under-funded schools and libraries, as well as for other organizations that provide books to disadvantaged children.

We are always looking for auction items! If you have something you would like to donate to Kids Need to Read, e-mail Debbie Brown at debbie@kidsneedtoread.org .

Tis the Season

Once Upon a Time… It was a dark and stormy night… This is the tale that was told to me…: Throughout history, winter has been a season rich in the tradition of storytelling, serving as a captivating blend of entertainment and education for individuals of all ages. This enduring legacy is exemplified in Beowulf, one of the oldest recorded stories, where the narrative opens with a compelling command, “Listen! we have heard of the might of the kings,”. No matter the opening line, the timeless power and importance of story and literacy is in its ability to connect generations and communities through the ages.
