Frogdancer's Book Drive

Today, I'd like to point you over to Dancing With Frogs.

Frogdancer is a mother of 4 boys, a school teacher, a person with a very very big heart. She lives in Melbourne, Australia.

She is running a book drive for Jarryd, a son of her friend Judy in Traralgon, whose home has been burnt down to the ground, leaving behind only the dishwasher full of unwashed dishes. Read about it here.

Jarryd is an avid reader who hopes to be a writer one day, his library now in ashes. So she's come up with a list of books on her blog, in hope that her readers would be able to help rebuild Jarryd's book collection.

Here are some of the books from the list:

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
1916
