Passport to Africa Party!

 

It’s no secret that I have a huge soft spot in my heart for Africa and African causes (how could I not I have two half-African kids!) In the last few months I was introduced to Hartlyn Kids books and my boys love them!  I was so delighted when they contacted me earlier this month to see if I wanted to co-host a Twitter party with them and some other fabulous bloggers.  Of course I did!  I hope that you all can join us on January 31st from 9-10:30 EST to learn more about Africa, multicultural families and help raise money for Hartlyn Kids new book all about Africa!
 
Here are the details:
 
Join Us for a Passport to Africa Twitter Party with Hartlyn Kids!
 
 Hartlyn Kids invites you to a ‘Passport to Africa Twitter Party’ to help them raise funds for a NEW children’s book about a country in Africa!  The upcoming book will be the third in a series that travels the globe, one book at a time, through unique stories from people who live and create in the countries that are represented in their books!
 
HartlynKids believes that everyone should have the opportunity to tell their story in their own words.  Their books empower writers and illustrators abroad, while putting diverse and culturally sensitive stories into the hands of young readers world wide.  Now, that’s something to celebrate!
 
Hartlyn Kids readers and supporters now have the chance to help this dream to become a reality!
 
Join us for some fun trivia about Africa, lively discussion and excellent prizes during this LIVE event on Twitter!  We’ll be talking multicultural life, travel and more, all while raising money for a great new project from Hartlyn Kids!  See you there!
 
Stay tuned during the Twitter party for special announcements about how you can help make the new Hartlyn Kids Africa book a reality!
