ADVICE FOR KIDS

While this might seem like simple advice for kids of all ages, I believe it can be an ideal we all can live by.  As the world continues to quicken at an alarming pace, we must always remember that the friendships we have today are the memories we’ll cherish tomorrow.

Please suggest SALTWATER TAFFY to the Sunshine Reader list.  After visiting Water’s Edge Elementary School in Boca Raton Florida, we were flooded with emails asking if Saltwater Taffy is a Sunshine Reader title.

I knew we were an Accelerated Reader title, but I hadn’t heard of the Sunshine Readers List.  In order to get onto the list, we need to be suggested to the committee.  As with everything concerning Saltwater Taffy, all we have to do is raise awareness surrounding the book and the rest takes care of itself.

So, with that…please take literally two seconds and CLICK HERE and write:  Saltwater Taffy by Eric DelaBarre, then check the 4 boxes to let them know we are in North America, the book is publishes after 2010, etc.  You don’t have to leave your email address or phone number or anything…all the want you to do is tell them about a new book.  Tell them about the SAWEET adventure novel Saltwater Taffy and we’ll be your friends for life!
