gift ideas

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any good book ideas for my sons elementary school library.

Our school always gives gifts to the teachers and has about 9 or 10

people that work with him, and I thought instead of the usual gift

certificate, bubble bath, candles.... I'd just make a donation to the library in

his

name thanking them for all they do. But I thought it would be nice to include

a children's book that would also help the kids who read it understand that

we are all different and special and unique.

Thanks

Thanks Donna,

I've decided to go a different route for the teachers gifts, and make the

donation to one of our local agencies, called familycapped. They are wonderful

and have a brand new respite house for our kids. The kids get to stay there

overnight or for the whole weekend with a fabulous staff, and the parents

get a break. Mikey has been on a few over nights and it's wonderful. The

house was started by two mom's of children with disabilities that require round

the clock care. Long overdue around here -- but I'm glad it's here.

But thanks for the book suggestion -- I'm going to get it for Mikey anyhow.

He's just now really started to show an interest in books. And I really

don't want to lose this window of opportunity. So thanks.
