The Spirit of PaperTigers Project will donate 100 sets of these seven multicultural books to libraries and schools in areas of need around the world:
Planting the Trees of Kenya: The Story of Wangari Maathai by Claire A. Nivola
First Come the Zebra by Lynne Barash
Little Leap Forward: A Boy in Beijing by Guo Yue, Clare Farrow, and Helen Cann
The Storyteller’s Candle/La velita de los cuentos by Lucia Gonzalez and Lulu Delacre
My Little Round House by Bolormaa Baasansuren (translated into English by Helen Mixter)
One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference by Katie Smith Milway and Eugenie Fernandes
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin
Check out the PaperTigers website for more information on this important project and on all the books. PaperTigers has carefully selected these titles and I have read only one of them. I want to read them all!

Nevertheless, the idea of the project is just fantastic and I wish Paper Tigers great success with it.
Aline, as for the Philippines, hopefully bookstores will order them. :o) (Ninety percent of books in bookstores here are imported from the US and the UK).
I actually came in here to tell you that I gave you a Prolific Blogger Award today. Here's the link if you'd like to see what I said about your blog: http://bookaunt.blogspot.com/2010/02/thank-you-ev.html
